Contents: A delayed SEIRS epidemic model with pulse vaccination and saturation incidence rate is investigated. Using Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem, we obtain the existence of infection-free periodic solution of the impulsive delayed epidemic system. We define some new threshold values [image omitted] , [image omitted]  and [image omitted] . Further, using the comparison theorem, we obtain the explicit formulae of [image omitted]  and [image omitted] . Under the condition [image omitted] , the infection-free periodic solution is globally attractive, and that [image omitted]  implies that the disease is permanent. Theoretical results show that the disease will be extinct if the vaccination rate is larger than θ* and the disease is uniformly persistent if the vaccination rate is less than θ*. Our results indicate that a long latent period of the disease or a large pulse vaccination rate will lead to eradication of the disease. Moreover, we prove that the disease will be permanent as [image omitted] .
