文摘In this paper, we propose a two strain epidemic model with single host population. It is assumed that strain one can mutate into strain two. Also latent-stage progression age and mutation are incorporated into the model. Stability of equilibria （including the disease free equilibrium, dominant equilibria and the coexistence equilibrium） is investigated and it is found that they are locally stable under suitable and biological feasible constraints. Results indicate that the competition exclusion and coexistence of the two strains are possible depending on the mutation. Numerical simulations are also performed to illustrate these results.
