In this paper, a reaction-diffusion SIR epidemic model is proposed. It takes into account the individuals mobility, the time periodicity of the infection rate and recovery rate, and the general nonlinear incidence function, which contains a number of classical incidence functions. In our model, due to the introduction of the general nonlinear incidence function, the boundedness of the infected individuals can not be obtained, so we study the existence and nonexistence of periodic traveling wave solutions of original system with the aid of auxiliary system. The basic reproduction number R 0 and the critical wave speed c * are given. We obtained the existence and uniqueness of periodic traveling waves for each wave speed c > c * using the Schauder's fixed points theorem when R 0 > 1 . The nonexistence of periodic traveling waves for two cases (i) R 0 > 1 and 0 less then c less then c * , (ii) R 0 ≤ 1 and c ≥ 0 are also obtained. These results generalize and improve the existing conclusions. Finally, the numerical experiments support the theoretical results. The differences of traveling wave solution between periodic system and general aperiodic coefficient system are analyzed by numerical simulations.In this paper a fractional optimal control problem was formulated for the outbreak of COVID-19 using a mathematical model with fractional order derivative in the Caputo sense. The state and co-state equations were given and the best strategy to significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections was found by introducing two time-dependent control measures, u 1 ( t ) (which represents the awareness campaign, lockdown, and all other measures that reduce the possibility of contacting the disease in susceptible human population) and u 2 ( t ) (which represents quarantine, monitoring and treatment of infected humans). Numerical simulations were carried out using RK-4 to show the significance of the control functions. The exposed population in susceptible population is reduced by the factor ( 1 - u 1 ( t ) ) due to the awareness and all other measures taken. Likewise, the infected population is reduced by a factor of ( 1 - u 2 ( t ) ) due to the monitoring and treatment by health professionals.Considering the great effect of vaccination and the unpredictability of environmental variations in nature, a stochastic Susceptible-Vaccinated-Infected-Susceptible (SVIS) epidemic model with standard incidence and vaccination strategies is the focus of the present study. By constructing a series of appropriate Lyapunov functions, the sufficient criterion R 0 s > 1 is obtained for the existence and uniqueness of the ergodic stationary distribution of the model. In epidemiology, the existence of a stationary distribution indicates that the disease will be persistent in a long term. By taking the stochasticity into account, a quasi-endemic equilibrium related to the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic system is defined. By means of the method developed in solving the general three-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation, the exact expression of the probability density function of the stochastic model around the quasi-endemic equilibrium is derived, which is the key aim of the present paper. In statistical significance, the explicit density function can reflect all dynamical properties of an epidemic system. Next, a simple result of disease extinction is obtained. In addition, several numerical simulations and parameter analyses are performed to illustrate the theoretical results. Finally, the corresponding results and conclusions are discussed at the end of the paper.A SEIR-type model is investigated to evaluate the effects of awareness campaigns in the presence of factors that can induce overexposure to disease. We find that high levels of overexposure can drive system dynamics towards a backward phenomenology and that increasing people awareness through balanced and aware information can be crucial to avoid dangerous dynamical trans
