Abstract

In the present study, we propose and analyze a predator–prey system with disease in the predator population. To understand the role of cannibalism, we modify the model considering predator population is of cannibalistic type. Local and global stability around the biologically feasible equilibria are studied. The conditions for the persistence of the system are worked out. We also analyze and compare the community structure of the model systems with the help of ecological and disease basic reproduction numbers. Finally, through numerical simulation, we observe that inclusion of cannibalism in predator population may control the disease transmission in the susceptible predator population.
