Competitive coexistence in a two-strain epidemic model with a periodic infection rate (Q2183270)

Summary: In this article, we study the global dynamical behavior of a two-strain SIS model with a periodic infection rate. The positivity and boundedness of solutions are established, and the competitive exclusion conditions are given for the model. The conditions for the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium and persistence of the model are obtained. The conditions of coexistence in this model are also found. Finally, the conditions of uniqueness of the solution are proved.
