Epidemiologic interference of virus populations

J Math Biol. 1979 Oct;8(3):291-300. doi: 10.1007/BF00276314.

Abstract

There are a few simulation studies for interference models in the literature but the present paper discusses an analytical model for the competition of two interfering virus populations in a community. The mathematical model consist of eight coupled differential equations which have up to four equilibrium points. Criteria for local stability are given.
