Abstract

In this paper, we study the initial boundary value problem of a reaction-convection-diffusion epidemic model for cholera dynamics, which was developed in [38], named susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible-bacteria (SIRS-B) epidemic PDE model. First, a local well-posedness result relying on the theory of cooperative dynamics systems is obtained. Via a priori estimates making use of the special structure of the system and continuation of local theory argument, we show that in fact this problem is globally well-posed. Secondly, we analyze the local asymptotic stability of the solutions based on the basic reproduction number associated with this model.
