Table 3.

Conditions for local stability of the four equilibria. An equilibrium is stable for a given set of parameter values (b, r, g, v, s, c, w) if and only if the conditions for R0 and C0 are both met. The columns denoted Inline graphic and Inline graphic indicate presence (+) or absence (−) of disease and sentiment, respectively, at equilibrium
