Dynamical analysis of a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with disease in prey incorporating a prey refuge and treatment

In this paper, we present and assess a predator-prey Leslie-Gower model including disease, refuge and treatment in prey population. There are two groups of prey: those who are susceptible and infected. It is hypothesized that prey population is affected by diseases and refuge, and grows logistically in the absence of predators. Infected prey population receives treatment. The predators' growth rate is governed by the modified Leslie-Gower dynamics. The dynamical attributes of the resulting system are boundedness, positivity of solutions, extinction criteria, existence and (local and global) stability. Biology uses mathematical analysis to identify the possible attributes of equilibrium points. The focus of this study is to assess how treatment and refuge affect the populations of ill prey, susceptible prey, predators and treated prey. The numerical simulation indicates that the influence of treatment, and refuge change the dynamics of the system (2.1). Extensive numerical simulations were performed to validate our analytical findings by using the Mathematica and MATLAB software.
