Abstract

In this paper, we present an age-structured multistrain mathematical model for infectious disease in vivo with infection age of cells. The model considers strain specific immune variables and the effect of absorption of pathogens into uninfected cells. By the construction of a Lyapunov functional, we prove the global stability results of the model, and show that several strains can survive at an equilibrium. We present full mathematical details of the proof of the global stability. The proof contains persistence arguments.
