  ABSTRACT: Avian Influenza, with a high mortality rate in human population, is considered to be one of the most significant potential threats to human beings. Based on a recent avian influenza SI-SIR model with logistic growth for birds, we propose a stochastic model with generalized incidence rate. For the stochastic avian-only system, sufficient conditions for the extinction of infected birds are established, and the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution is also obtained. For the stochastic avian-human system, a threshold number is established, and hence the extinction of disease is investigated. From the viewpoint of biology, the noise intensity in the infected birds plays a key role in the evolutionary dynamics. Moreover, we also analyze the asymptotic behavior around the endemic equilibrium of the corresponding deterministic model.
