In this paper, we are interested in studying the spread of infectious disease using a fractional-order model with Caputo's fractional derivative operator. The considered model includes an infectious disease that includes two types of infected class, the first shows the presence of symptoms (symptomatic infected persons), and the second class does not show any symptoms (asymptomatic infected persons). Further, we considered a nonlinear incidence function, where it is obtained that the investigated fractional system shows some important results. In fact, different types of bifurcation are obtained, as saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, where it is discussed in detail through the research. For the numerical part, a proper numerical scheme is used for the graphical representation of the solutions. The mathematical findings are checked numerically.

A chemostat is a laboratory device (of the bioreactor type) in which organisms (bacteria, phytoplankton) develop in a controlled manner. This paper studies the asymptotic properties of a chemostat model with generalized interference function and Poisson noise. Due to the complexity of abrupt and erratic fluctuations, we consider the effect of the second order Itô-Lévy processes. The dynamics of our perturbed system are determined by the value of the threshold parameter ${\mathfrak{C}}_0^{\star }$. If ${\mathfrak{C}}_0^{\star }$ is strictly positive, the stationarity and ergodicity properties of our model are verified (practical scenario). If ${\mathfrak{C}}_0^{\star }$ is strictly negative, the considered and modeled microorganism will disappear in an exponential manner. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the chemostat interaction under general assumptions that can be applied to various models in biology and ecology. In order to verify the reliability of our results, we probe the case of industrial waste-water treatment. It is concluded that higher order jumps possess a negative influence on the long-term behavior of microorganisms in the sense that they lead to complete extinction.
