The persistence and extinction of an almost periodic epidemic model in a patchy environment are studied. It is shown that the disease cannot invade the disease-free state if the exponential growth bound is less than zero and can invade if it is greater than zero. It is also shown that there exists an almost periodic solution which is globally attractive when each patch admits the same dispersal rate. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the above results.
Keywords: exponential growth bound., epidemic model, Almost periodic, skew-product semiflow, threshold dynamics.
