Globally stable endemicity for infectious diseases with information-related changes in contact patterns

SIR and SIS epidemic models with information—related changes in contact patterns are introduced. The global stability analysis of the endemic equilibrium is performed by means of the Li–Muldowney geometric approach. Biological implications of the stability conditions are given.
