Abstract
We study the global stability of a multistrain SIS model with superinfection and patch structure. We establish an iterative procedure to obtain a sequence of threshold parameters. By a repeated application of a result by Takeuchi et al. [Nonlinear Anal Real World Appl. 2006 7:235-247], we show that these parameters completely determine the global dynamics of the system: for any number of patches and strains with different infectivities, any subset of the strains can stably coexist depending on the particular choice of the parameters. Finally, we return to the special case of one patch examined in [Math Biosci Eng. 2017 14:421-35] and give a correction to the proof of Theorem 2.2 of that paper.
