Threshold dynamics in a within host infection model with Crowley Martin functional response considering periodic effects
Abstract
We present a mathematical model for within host viral infections that incorporates the Crowley Martin functional response, focusing on the dynamics influenced by periodic effects. This study establishes key properties of the model, including the existence, uniqueness, positivity, and boundedness of periodic orbits within the non-autonomous system. We demonstrate that the global dynamics are governed by the basic reproduction number, denoted as $\mathcal{R}_0$, which is calculated using the spectral radius of an integral operator. Our findings reveal that $\mathcal{R}_0$ serves as a threshold parameter: when $\mathcal{R}_0 < 1$, the virus-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable, indicating that the infection will die out. Conversely, if $\mathcal{R}_0 > 1$, at least one positive periodic solution exists, and the disease persists uniformly, with trajectories converging to a limit cycle. Additionally, we provide numerical simulations that support and illustrate our theoretical results, enhancing the understanding of threshold dynamics in within-host infection models.
