First, based on the theory of stochastic persistence, we derive the conditions required for the disease to persist within the model. Under these conditions, we apply Khasminskii\u2019s ergodic theorem and Lyapunov functions to establish that the model possesses a unique ergodic stationary distribution. Finally, we utilize Khasminskii\u2019s periodic theorem to examine the corresponding stochastic periodic SEIR model derived from the stochastic semi-parametric SEIR model, identifying sufficient conditions for the existence of non-trivial periodic solutions. Our theoretical results are further validated through numerical simulations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms14070535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]],"date-time":"2025-07-15T15:01:05Z","timestamp":1752591665000},"page":"535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dynamical Behaviors of a Stochastic Semi-Parametric SEIR Model with Infectivity in the Incubation Period"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Statistics, Hainan Normal University, Haikou 571158, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Statistics, Hainan Normal University, Haikou 571158, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1016\/0025-5564(94)90025-6","article-title":"Some discrete-time SI, SIR, and SIS epidemic models","volume":"124","author":"Allen","year":"1994","journal-title":"Math.
