Abstract
In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of a regime-switching SIRS epidemic model with a ratio-dependent incidence rate. We propose a stochastic reproduction number R0 S which can be regarded as a threshold to use in identifying the stochastic extinction and persistence: if R0 S<1, the disease dies out exponentially with probability one; while if R0 S>1, there exists a unique ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solutions to the system which implies the stochastic persistence of the infectious disease.
