Dynamical behavior of a stochastic epidemic model for cholera

In this paper, a stochastic epidemic model for cholera is proposed and investigated. Firstly, we establish sufficient conditions for extinction of the disease. Then we establish sufficient criteria for the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solutions to the model by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function. The existence of an ergodic stationary distribution implies that all the individuals can be coexistent in the long run. Finally, some examples together with numerical simulations are introduced to illustrate our theoretical results.
