In this paper, we establish the global asymptotic stability of equilibria for an SIR model of infectious diseases with distributed time delays governed by a wide class of nonlinear incidence rates. We obtain the global properties of the model by proving the permanence and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Under some suitable assumptions on the nonlinear term in the incidence rate, the global dynamics of the model is completely determined by the basic reproduction number $R_0$ and the distributed delays do not influence the global dynamics of the model.
Keywords: Lyapunov functional., distributed delays, permanence, SIR epidemic models, nonlinear incidence rate, global asymptotic stability.
