It was shown in [11] that in an epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence and two compartments some complex dynamics can appear, such as the backward bifurcation, codimension 1 Hopf bifurcation and codimension 2 Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. In this paper we prove that for the same model the codimension of Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation can be 3 and is at most 3. Hence, more complex new phenomena, such as codimension 2 Hopf bifurcation, codimension 2 homoclinic bifurcation and semi-stable limit cycle bifurcation, exhibit. Especially, the system can have and at most have 2 limit cycles near the positive singularity.
