A discrete-time analog for coupled within-host and between-host dynamics in environmentally driven infectious disease

Abstract In this paper, we establish a discrete-time analog for coupled within-host and between-host systems for an environmentally driven infectious disease with fast and slow two time scales by using the non-standard finite difference scheme. The system is divided into a fast time system and a slo...
