摘要
In this paper, we develop the theory of basic reproduction ratios R0 for abstract functional differential systems in a time-periodic environment. It is proved that R0 - 1 has the same sign as the exponential growth bound of an associated linear system. Then we apply it to a time-periodic Lyme disease model with time-delay and obtain a threshold type result on its global dynamics in terms of R-0.
