Abstract
In this paper, we propose a discrete-time eco-epidemiological model with disease in prey incorporating Holling type III functional response and harvesting of prey. Bilinear incidence rate is used to model the contact process. We incorporate harvesting of both the susceptible and infected prey populations. We consider that the predator population will prefer only the infected prey population as the infected ones are more vulnerable. We derive the basic reproduction number of the eco-epidemiological model. We find the equilibrium points of the model and analyse the conditions for their stability. Finally, we carry out simulations to illustrate our analytical findings.
