Subthreshold coexistence of strains: the impact of vaccination and mutation

Subthreshold coexistence of strains: the impact of vaccination and mutation

We consider a model for a disease withtwo competing strains and vaccination.The vaccine provides complete protection against one of the strains(strain 2) but onlypartial protection against the other (strain 1). The partial protection leads toexistence of subthreshold equilibria of strain 1. If the...
