Abstract

In this paper, a two-strain epidemic model on a complex network is proposed. The two strains are the drug-sensitive strain and the drug-resistant strain. The related basic reproduction numbers $R_s$ and $R_r$ are obtained. If $R_0=\max\{R_s,R_r\} 1$, then there is a unique drug-resistant strain dominated equilibrium $E_r$, which is locally asymptotically stable if the invasion reproduction number $R_r^s 1$ and $R_s>R_r$, then there is a unique coexistence equilibrium $E^*$. The persistence of the model is also proved. The theoretical results are supported with numerical simulations.
