Direction and Stability of Bifurcating Periodic Solutions in a Delay-Induced Ecoepidemiological System

A SI-type ecoepidemiological model that incorporates reproduction delay of predator is studied. Considering delay as parameter, we investigate the effect of delay on the stability of the coexisting equilibrium. It is observed that there is stability switches, and Hopf bifurcation occurs when the del...
