In this paper we extend the deterministic competition model with herd behavior and Allee ef-
fect by including environmental noise in the model. We prove that obtained stochastic model
has positive, global and bounded solution. Conditions under which system is stable in some
sense are established. We also apply our mathematical results to predict the time it takes for
populations of certain species to reach their equilibrium state.

Stochastic Hepatitis C model - conditions for disease extinction

Hepatitis C is an infectious liver disease caused by the Hepatitis C virus and transmitted exclu-
sively by infected person’s blood. There are many papers in the literature which consider spread
of Hepatitis C. In some of them infected persons are divided in two classes: acute and chronic
persons, but we construct our stochastic model on basis of the deterministic one which takes
into account the isolation stage of infection, too. Hence, we obtain, five-state stochastic model
by using system of stochastic differential equations of Ito type. This model better describes vari-
ability and uncertainty which may manifest through the contact between persons in population.
Also stochastic model is constructed on such way, that inherits the disease free equilibrium
point of deterministic model. In this presentation the conditions for coefficient of stochastic
systems that provide stability in probability of disease free equilibrium state are shown. On the
other words, it means, that under these conditions Hepatitis C will die out in population. Our
