Global stability of equilibria in a tick-borne disease model.
In this short note we establish global stability results for a four- dimensional nonlinear system that was developed in modeling a tick-borne disease by H.D. Gaff and L.J. Gross (Bull. Math. Biol., 69 (2007), 265-288) where local stability results were obtained. These results provide the parameter ranges for controlling long-term population and disease dynamics.
