Description
Summary:H7N9 virus in the environment plays a role in the dynamics of avian influenza A (H7N9). A nationwide poultry vaccination with H7N9 vaccine program was implemented in China in October of 2017. To analyze the effect of vaccination and environmental virus on the development of avian influenza A (H7N9), we establish an avian influenza A (H7N9) transmission model with vaccination and seasonality among human, birds, and poultry. The basic reproduction number for the prevalence of avian influenza is obtained. The global stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the existence of positive periodic solution are proved by the comparison theorem and the asymptotic autonomous system theorem. Finally, we use numerical simulations to demonstrate the theoretical results. Simulation results indicate that the risk of H7N9 infection is higher in colder environment. Vaccinating poultry can significantly reduce human infection.
