Global asymptotic stability of a periodic solution to an epidemic model.
In this paper a periodic delay differential equation with spatial spread is investigated. This equation can be used to model the growth of malaria which is transmitted by a mosquito. Using monotone techniques, it is shown that the following bifurcation holds: either the disease dies out or the density of infectious people tends to a spatially homogeneous, time periodic and positive solution.
