Quantitative analyses of non-negativity and boundedness of solution trajectories, dissipativity, behavior around equilibria, global stability and persistence of the model equations are analyzed. We present the global stability of equilibria by constructing a Lyapunov function. Hopf bifurcation theory is applied.
