We study, by means of a mathematical model and bifurcation analysis, conditions under which the wild-type and mutant viruses, which compete for the same host cells, can coexist. Consequently, the bifurcation diagram in figure 3b shows that for mutant-type infection rates given by a m , 0.86, the coexistence state v 3 is stable whereas the virus-free state v 1 is unstable. As predicted from linear stability analysis, the Hopf bifurcation curve associated with the wt-free state v 2 does not depend on the infection rate of the wt virus a w and thus appears as a straight line given by a m ΒΌ 1.55. ./cache/cord-322395-xeq4yix4.txt ./txt/cord-322395-xeq4yix4.txt
