Abstract
Mathematical parasite-host models are generalized to the case when the population members differ in susceptibility and contagiousness, there is an external source of infection, and the model parameters depend periodically (seasonally) on time. The model is proved to have a periodic solution that is unique and exponentially stable for sufficiently small periodic oscillations of the coefficients.
