With influenza as a prototype, we propose a compartmental model for a pandemic by taking into account of recruitment. The model has a threshold dynamics. Precisely, when the basic reproduction number R0 6 1, the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when R0 > 1, the disease free equilibrium is unstable and there is a unique endemic equilibrium which globally attracts all solutions except the trivial one (the disease free equilibrium). These results are established by applying the LaSalle’s invariance principle.
