A networked connectivity model of waterborne disease epidemics on a site of $n$ communities is studied. Existence and local stability analysis for both the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are studied. Using an appropriate Lyapunov function and Lasalle invariance principle, global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium point is established. Existence of a transcritical bifurcation at the disease outbreak is also proved. This work extends previous research in networked connectivity models of epidemics.
Keywords: dynamical systems, epidemics., Networked connectivity models.
