Effects of α1 and α2 on dynamics.
| Values of R 0 | Effects when | Effects when | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intensity of values | |||
| Small values of | α 1 | Either can keep the infected population in a low level or Destabilize the system then drive the whole population extinct through a catastrophic event. | Either exhibits disease-driven extinction (Theorem 3.2, condition C) or disease persists with large infected population (this may be caused by switching Allee thresholds). |
| α 2 | Disease persists with large infected population. | Disease persists with large infected population. | |
| Intermedium values of | α 1 | Hysteresis occurs | Either disease persists or exhibits disease-driven extinction. |
| α 2 | Hysteresis occurs | Either disease persists or exhibits disease-driven extinction. | |
| Large values of | α 1 | The infected population persists and is relatively large. | Disease persists. |
| α 2 | Either can keep the infected population in a low level or Destabilize the system then drive the whole population extinct through a catastrophic event. | Either exhibits disease-driven extinction (Theorem 3.2, condition C) or disease persists. | |
