Also, we study the global stability of the equilibrium by constructing the new forms of Liapounov functions. Conclusion/Recommendations: We explored the existence of Hopf bifurcation for some parameters in the given model.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
