The Basic Reproduction Number is defined as the average number of secondary infections
when one infective is introduced into a completely susceptible host population. It is also called
the basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate. Using next generation approach [2, 15 and

It can be concluded from (8) that

which it was not stable without harvesting of prey. So harvesting of susceptible and infected prey
has positive effect on the stability of

When the perturbations are confined in

S I plane only, then the equilibrium point
1 1
( , 0, 0, 0) E S is locally asymptotically stable for
0
1 R < . However in the presence of predator
population the stability depends upon the dynamics of predator also as is evident from (8). In
fact, when the feeding efficiency of predator is sufficiently low then the disease will die out from
both the prey and predator under condition (8) and the equilibrium point
1 1
( , 0, 0, 0) E S is locally
asymptotically stable. In other words, when the feeding efficiency is sufficiently low and the
basic reproduction number
0
R in prey population is below the threshold then predator population
become extinct and disease dies out from the prey population.

The greater vulnerability of prey to predation may be responsible for persistence of disease free
prey predator population.
By simplifying above condition for stability it has been observed that harvesting of
infected prey may improve the stability of equilibrium point
3 1 2
( , 0, , 0) E S S where as it become
less stable with harvesting of susceptible prey. Thus with an appropriate harvesting of
susceptible and infected prey, disease free equilibrium point

desired level.

(33.3333, 0, 0.3333, 0) E are locally asymptotically stable.
The point

0.7874 1 R = < . Both the
equilibrium points have their own domains of attractions. Trajectories with different initial

The instability of non-zero equilibrium point

(39.0915, 0.9501, 0.0081, 0.0010) E can be
seen from Fig. 4. It is also noticed that when even a very small perturbation is taken from

7. Discussion and Conclusion
In this paper on predator-prey system, a disease transmission model, incorporating
provisions for harvesting of prey have been discussed and analyzed. From the infected prey, the
disease is spreading to susceptible prey and consequently to the predator species. The predator-
prey species are compartmentalized into susceptible and infected classes. Recovery from disease
is not considered for both prey and the predator species. Consequently, SI model is considered
for both the species. SI model system admits four boundary equilibrium points and one non-zero
interior equilibrium point. The dynamic behavior of the system around each equilibrium point
has been studied and threshold values for basic reproduction numbers
0
R and
1
R are computed.
Conditions for the existence and stability of disease free prey predator system are obtained.
Conditions for endemic disease in prey species are discussed. Numerical Simulations are carried
out to confirm the results obtained analytically.
It has been observed that the predator population becomes extinct and the disease dies out
from the prey population for sufficiently small feeding efficiency of predator when the basic
reproduction number
0
R in prey population is below the threshold. If the basic reproduction
number
0
R in the prey population is above the threshold, the disease in prey population
approaches endemic level and predator population becomes extinct. Disease in prey may be
responsible for elimination of predator.
In case the feeding efficiency of predator population is sufficiently high so that
