“…Multi-strain mathematical models have been widely used to investigate the infectious disease dynamics ( Massard et al, 2022 , de León et al, 2022 , Li et al, 2021b , Rong et al, 2007 , Rong et al, 2012 , Li et al, 2021a , Li et al, 2013 , Martcheva, 2009 , Li et al, 2010 , Saucedo and Martcheva, 2017 , Dang et al, 2016 , Duan et al, 2018 , Cai et al, 2013 , Martcheva and Li, 2013 , Martcheva, 2007 , Thomasey and Martcheva, 2008 , Iannelli et al, 2005 , Martcheva et al, 2007 , Martcheva and Pilyugin, 2006 , Qiu et al, 2013 , Martcheva et al, 2008 , Arruda et al, 2021 , Fudolig and Howard, 2020 , Murall et al, 2014 , Poolman et al, 2008 ). Most studied the existence and stability of the disease-free equilibrium (DFE), strain-dominant equilibria and coexistence equilibria.…”
