Effect of density dependence on coinfection dynamics

Dynamical Systems 2021-02-12 v2

Abstract

In this paper we develop an SIR model for coinfection. We discuss how the underlying dynamics depends on the carrying capacity KK: from a simple dynamics to a more complicated. This can help in understanding of appearance of more complicated dynamics, for example, chaos etc. The density dependent population growth is also considered. It is presented that pathogens can invade in population and their invasion depends on the carrying capacity KK which shows that the progression of disease in population depends on carrying capacity. Our approach is based on a bifurcation analysis which allows to generalize considerably the previous Lotka-Volterra type models.
