Predator's alternative food sources do not support ecoepidemics with two-strains-diseased prey

Abstract

An ecoepidemic model is presented, in which two diseases affect the prey. Predators are allowed to have other food sources. Equilibria are analyzed for feasibility and stability. The most striking result is that in these conditions the two strains cannot both survive in the system, contrary to what is possible to obtain, under suitable assumptions, in standard epidemic models
