Abstract: A vector-borne disease transmission model with nonlinear incidence rate and time delay was established and studied. The expression of basic reproduction number R₀ was derived by using Jacobian matrix and spectral radius as tools. If R₀<1, then the model had an unique globally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium, and the disease would fade away. If R₀>1, then the model had an unique endemic equilibrium, and the conditions for the asymptotic stability of the equilibrium were analyzed.
