Abstract

Four modifications of a predator prey model to include an SIS or SIR parasitic infection are developed and analyzed. Thresholds are identified and global stability results are proved. When the disease persists in the prey population and the predators have a sufficient feeding efficiency to survive, the disease also persists in the predator population.
