Abstract: Due to the complex and constantly evolving process of infectious disease transmission, we have studied a class of delayed SIR models incorporating both death and recovery to control the spread of diseases. We creatively use bifurcation theories to determine the critical delay τ0 for Hopf bifurcation to comprehend the impact of time delay on the system. The analysis of periodic solutions and bifurcation directions, based on central manifold and normal form theory, offers insights into the system's dynamics. Simulations utilising time series charts and trajectory diagrams aid in comprehending the impact of hysteresis parameters. Additionally, data fitting is performed to verify the proposed model by contrasting it with actual data. The research demonstrates that the implementation of consistent preventive and hygienic measures can significantly reduce the severity of disease exacerbation.

Keywords: SIR model; basic reproductive number; time delay; Hopf bifurcation; centre manifold theorem.
