Abstract

We propose an SEI epidemic model for plant diseases, which incorporates disease latency, disease-caused removal, and constant recruitment in both susceptible and exposed classes. Because of the recruitment and disease-caused removal, the total population is varying. It is shown that the model only has an endemic equilibrium and the equilibrium is globally stable.
