A Leslie-Gower ecoepidemic model with disease in the predators is constructed and analyzed The total population is subdividedinto three subclasses namely susceptible predator infected predator and prey population The positivity boundness of solutionsand the existence of the equilibria are studied and the sufficient conditions of local asymptotic stability of the equilibria are obtainedby the Routh-Hurwitz criterionWe analyze the global stability of the interior equilibria by using Lyapunov functions It is observedthat a Hopf bifurcation may occur around the interior equilibrium At last numeric simulations are performed in support of thefeasibility of the main result
1 Introduction
Since the pioneering work of Anderson and May [1] manyresearchers have paid great attention to the modeling andanalysis of ecoepidemiological systems recently Venturino[2] Haque et al [3] Xiao and Chen [4 5] Tewa et al[6] Rahman and Chakravarty [7] and so forth discussedthe dynamics of prey-predator system with disease in preypopulation Haque et al [8] analyzed the dynamical behaviorof predator-prey system with disease in predator populationHsieh and Hsiao [9] proposed and discussed the dynamics ofa predator-preymodel with disease in both prey and predatorpopulations The boundness and stability of the equilibriaare studied There are mainly two types functional responseHolling-type functional response and Leslie-Gower func-tional responseMost scholars discussed theHopf bifurcationand the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation near the boundaryequilibrium
The Leslie-Gower functional response is first proposedby Leslie [10] which introduced the following predator-preymodel where the ldquocarrying capacityrdquo of the predatorrsquos envi-ronment is proportional to the number of prey populations
The first and second Leslie-Gower predator-prey models areas follows

where 119867 and 119875 are the density of prey species and thepredator species at time 119905 respectively Because of thecomplex mathematical expressions involved in the analy-sis Korobeinikov [11] introduced a Lyapunov function forboth models (1) and (2) to prove their global stabilitiesAfter the work of Korobeinikov many scholars have doneworks on Leslie-type predator prey ecosystem The modifiedLeslie-Gower and Holling-type II predator-prey model isgeneralized in the context of ecoepidemiology with diseasespreading only among the prey species [12] Hopf bifurcation

is studied for a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey sys-tem with harvesting [13] Aziz-Alaoui [14] studied dynamicbehaviors of three Leslie-Gower-type species food chainsystems Chen et al [15] incorporated a prey refuge to system(1) and showed that the refuge has no influence on thepersistent property of the system A predator-prey Leslie-Gowermodel with disease in prey has been developed whereit is observed that a Hopf bifurcation may occur around theinterior equilibrium taking refuge parameter as bifurcationparameter [16] Some similar kinds of models have appearedin the recent literature the main new distinctive feature is theinclusion of an infectious disease in prey population But thedisease also can spread in predator because of food parasitemating and so on
In the present research we formulate a predator-preyLeslie-Gower model with disease in predator The totalpopulation have been divided into three classes namelysusceptible predator infected predator and prey populationThe construction and model assumptions are discussed inSection 2 In Section 3 positivity and boundedness of thesolutions of the model are discussed Section 4 deals withtheir existence and stability analysis of the equilibriumpoints In Section 5 a detailed study of the Hopf bifurcationaround the interior equilibrium is carried out Numericalillustrations are performed finally in order to validate theapplicability of the model under consideration

predator and infected predator populations respectively attime 119905 The prey population grows according to a logisticfashion with carrying capacity 119896 and an intrinsic birth rateconstant 119903

Proof Since the right-hand side of system (3) is completelycontinuous and locally Lipschitzian on 119862 the solution(119883(119905) 119884

which completes the proof

Figure 2 Hopf bifurcation around the interior equilibrium of system (3)
interior equilibrium 119864lowastis locally asymptotically stable in the
neighborhood of 119864lowast(see Figure 1(c)) Since the condition
for the global asymptotic stability of 119864lowastholds good (see
Theorem 5) the unique interior equilibrium solution 119864lowast=
(149542 17391 224433) is a global attractor (see Figure 3)We have performed a bifurcation analysis of the model
and obtained a critical value 120573119867 When the transmission
coefficient from susceptible predator to infected predator 120573
passes through 120573119867 the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation
around the stationary state of coexistence (see Figure 2)
7 Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed and analyzed a Leslie-Gowerecoepidemiological model that divided the total population
into three different populations namely prey (119883) susceptiblepredator (119884
1) and infected predator (119884
2) The conditions
for existence and stability of the all equilibria of the systemhave been given The bifurcation situations have also beenobserved around the interior equilibrium point
The system has four equilibriums 1198640 1198641 1198642 and 119864

have obtained epidemiological threshold quantities for ourmodel 1198771

is studied for a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey sys-tem with harvesting [13] Aziz-Alaoui [14] studied dynamicbehaviors of three Leslie-Gower-type species food chainsystems Chen et al [15] incorporated a prey refuge to system(1) and showed that the refuge has no influence on thepersistent property of the system A predator-prey Leslie-Gowermodel with disease in prey has been developed whereit is observed that a Hopf bifurcation may occur around theinterior equilibrium taking refuge parameter as bifurcationparameter [16] Some similar kinds of models have appearedin the recent literature the main new distinctive feature is theinclusion of an infectious disease in prey population But thedisease also can spread in predator because of food parasitemating and so on
In the present research we formulate a predator-preyLeslie-Gower model with disease in predator The totalpopulation have been divided into three classes namelysusceptible predator infected predator and prey populationThe construction and model assumptions are discussed inSection 2 In Section 3 positivity and boundedness of thesolutions of the model are discussed Section 4 deals withtheir existence and stability analysis of the equilibriumpoints In Section 5 a detailed study of the Hopf bifurcationaround the interior equilibrium is carried out Numericalillustrations are performed finally in order to validate theapplicability of the model under consideration

where119883(119905)1198841(119905) and119884

predator and infected predator populations respectively attime 119905 The prey population grows according to a logisticfashion with carrying capacity 119896 and an intrinsic birth rateconstant 119903

The second equation of system (3) contains the so-calledLeslie-Gower term namely ℎ(119884

3 Some Preliminary Results
Theorem 1 Every solution of system (3) with initial conditions(4) exists in the interval [0 +infin) and 119883(119905) ge 0 119884
1(119905) ge 0
1198842(119905) ge 0 for all 119905 gt 0
Proof Since the right-hand side of system (3) is completelycontinuous and locally Lipschitzian on 119862 the solution(119883(119905) 119884
1(119905) 1198842(119905)) of (3) with initial conditions (4) exists and

which completes the proof
Theorem 2 All solutions of system (3) initiating 1198773 are
ultimately bounded
Proof We consider first 119883(119905) le 119896 forall119905 gt 0

We get 119883 = 1(119862119890minus1199031119905+ 1119896) If 119905 rarr infin 119883 rarr 119896

Figure 2 Hopf bifurcation around the interior equilibrium of system (3)
interior equilibrium 119864lowastis locally asymptotically stable in the
neighborhood of 119864lowast(see Figure 1(c)) Since the condition
for the global asymptotic stability of 119864lowastholds good (see
Theorem 5) the unique interior equilibrium solution 119864lowast=
(149542 17391 224433) is a global attractor (see Figure 3)We have performed a bifurcation analysis of the model
and obtained a critical value 120573119867 When the transmission
coefficient from susceptible predator to infected predator 120573
passes through 120573119867 the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation
around the stationary state of coexistence (see Figure 2)
7 Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed and analyzed a Leslie-Gowerecoepidemiological model that divided the total population
into three different populations namely prey (119883) susceptiblepredator (119884
1) and infected predator (119884
2) The conditions
for existence and stability of the all equilibria of the systemhave been given The bifurcation situations have also beenobserved around the interior equilibrium point
The system has four equilibriums 1198640 1198641 1198642 and 119864

have obtained epidemiological threshold quantities for ourmodel 1198771

43 Globally Asymptotically Stable Defining the Lyapunovfunction we can judge the global asymptotically stability ofthe interior equilibrium point
Theorem 5 The equilibrium point 119864lowastis locally asymptotically
stable meaning that it is globally asymptotically stable in Σ =

Figure 2 Hopf bifurcation around the interior equilibrium of system (3)
interior equilibrium 119864lowastis locally asymptotically stable in the
neighborhood of 119864lowast(see Figure 1(c)) Since the condition
for the global asymptotic stability of 119864lowastholds good (see
Theorem 5) the unique interior equilibrium solution 119864lowast=
(149542 17391 224433) is a global attractor (see Figure 3)We have performed a bifurcation analysis of the model
and obtained a critical value 120573119867 When the transmission
coefficient from susceptible predator to infected predator 120573
passes through 120573119867 the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation
around the stationary state of coexistence (see Figure 2)
7 Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed and analyzed a Leslie-Gowerecoepidemiological model that divided the total population
into three different populations namely prey (119883) susceptiblepredator (119884
1) and infected predator (119884
2) The conditions
for existence and stability of the all equilibria of the systemhave been given The bifurcation situations have also beenobserved around the interior equilibrium point
The system has four equilibriums 1198640 1198641 1198642 and 119864

have obtained epidemiological threshold quantities for ourmodel 1198771

Figure 2 Hopf bifurcation around the interior equilibrium of system (3)
interior equilibrium 119864lowastis locally asymptotically stable in the
neighborhood of 119864lowast(see Figure 1(c)) Since the condition
for the global asymptotic stability of 119864lowastholds good (see
Theorem 5) the unique interior equilibrium solution 119864lowast=
(149542 17391 224433) is a global attractor (see Figure 3)We have performed a bifurcation analysis of the model
and obtained a critical value 120573119867 When the transmission
coefficient from susceptible predator to infected predator 120573
passes through 120573119867 the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation
around the stationary state of coexistence (see Figure 2)
7 Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed and analyzed a Leslie-Gowerecoepidemiological model that divided the total population
into three different populations namely prey (119883) susceptiblepredator (119884
1) and infected predator (119884
2) The conditions
for existence and stability of the all equilibria of the systemhave been given The bifurcation situations have also beenobserved around the interior equilibrium point
The system has four equilibriums 1198640 1198641 1198642 and 119864

have obtained epidemiological threshold quantities for ourmodel 1198771

Figure 2 Hopf bifurcation around the interior equilibrium of system (3)
interior equilibrium 119864lowastis locally asymptotically stable in the
neighborhood of 119864lowast(see Figure 1(c)) Since the condition
for the global asymptotic stability of 119864lowastholds good (see
Theorem 5) the unique interior equilibrium solution 119864lowast=
(149542 17391 224433) is a global attractor (see Figure 3)We have performed a bifurcation analysis of the model
and obtained a critical value 120573119867 When the transmission
coefficient from susceptible predator to infected predator 120573
passes through 120573119867 the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation
around the stationary state of coexistence (see Figure 2)
7 Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed and analyzed a Leslie-Gowerecoepidemiological model that divided the total population
into three different populations namely prey (119883) susceptiblepredator (119884
1) and infected predator (119884
2) The conditions
for existence and stability of the all equilibria of the systemhave been given The bifurcation situations have also beenobserved around the interior equilibrium point
