Popis: | To increase a prey population that is attacked by a predator it is more convenient and economical to choose the living organisms to control the predator. In this paper, the dynamical behaviors of a prey–predator model with microparasitic infection in the predator have been discussed. In this epidemiological model the microparasite is horizontally transmitted and attacks the predator population only. The infected population does not recover or become immune. The dynamical characteristics of the system are studied through mathematical analyses. The role of discrete time-delay has been discussed to show that time-delay can induce instability and oscillation. Numerical simulations are carried out. Biological implications have been discussed. |
