Abstract

Study on double epidemics is attracting the attention of researchers in recent times to make models that are close to reality. In this paper, an epidemic model with two transmission mechanisms, Susceptible-Infected-Recovered and Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible, is considered. The model is stochastically perturbed at transmission rates and the resulting stochastic model is examined for the existence of a positive global solution. Further, extinction, persistence and co-persistence results are studied with suitable sufficient conditions. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to support the theoretical results established.
