This paper deals with the nonlinear dynamics of Susceptible, Infected, Recovered epidemic model with a particular non linear incidence rate and the consequences of media awareness program. The model analysis shows that the spread of an infectious disease can be controlled by using awareness programs. Different equilibrium points and their stability are discussed. The basic reproduction number R0 is obtained. We also apply Lasalle’s invariance principle to show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0<1 and we use a geometric approach to find out the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. In addition, to our analytical results, several numerical simulations are also illustrated.
