A multi-group model is proposed to describe a general relapse phenomenon of infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations. In each group, the population is divided into susceptible, exposed, infectious, and recovered subclasses. A general nonlinear incidence rate is used in the model. The results show that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction number $R_0.$ In particular, a matrix-theoretic method is used to prove the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium when $R_0\leq1,$ while a new combinatorial identity (Theorem 3.3 in Shuai and van den Driessche [29]) in graph theory is applied to prove the global stability of the endemic equilibrium when $R_0>1.$ We would like to mention that by applying the new combinatorial identity, a graph of 3n (or 2n+m) vertices can be converted into a graph of n vertices in order to deal with the global stability of the endemic equilibrium in this paper.
Keywords: global stability, Multigroup epidemic model, nonlinear incidence, Lyapunov function..
