It has been observed in the epidemiological data for the diseases caused by this virus that there are cases where some individuals are super-spreaders of the virus. We formulate a simply SEIrIsR (susceptible\u2013exposed\u2013regular infected\u2013super-spreading infected\u2013recovered) mathematical model to describe the dynamics of the transmission of this disease. The proposed model is analyzed using the standard stability method by using Routh-Hurwitz criteria. We obtain the basic reproductive number (R0) using the next generation method. We establish that when R0&lt;1, the disease-free state is locally asymptotically stable and the disease endemic state is unstable. The reverse is true when R0&gt;1, the disease endemic state becomes the locally asymptotically stable state and the disease-free state becomes unstable. It is also established that the two equilibrium states are globally asymptotically stable. The numerical simulations show how the dynamics of the disease change as values of the parameters in the SEIrIsR are varied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation10070120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]],"date-time":"2022-07-12T20:52:41Z","timestamp":1657659161000},"page":"120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Mathematical Modeling: Global Stability Analysis of Super Spreading Transmission of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Rattiya","family":"Sungchasit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Phuket Rajabhat University, Phuket 83000, Thailand"}]},{"given":"I-Ming","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10400, Thailand"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2931-6052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Puntani","family":"Pongsumpun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, School of Science, King Mongkut\u2019s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok 10520, Thailand"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2019, April 18).
