Abstract
In this paper, we propose a periodic reaction–diffusion model of Zika virus with seasonal and spatial heterogeneous structure in host and vector population. We introduce the basic reproduction ratio \(R_0\) for this model and show that the disease-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable if \(R_0\le 1\), while the system admits a globally asymptotically stable positive periodic solution if \(R_0 >1\). Numerically, we study the Zika transmission in Rio de Janeiro Municipality, Brazil, and investigate the effects of some model parameters on \(R_0\). We find that the neglect of seasonality underestimates the value of \(R_0\) and the maximum carrying capacity affects the spread of Zika virus.
