Dynamics of an HTLV-I infection model with delayed CTLs immune response

作者:

Highlights:

• A model for HTLV-I infection that includes uninfected & infected CD4+T cells and HTLV-I-specific CD8+T cells.

• To better understand the dynamics of HTLV-I infection, we incorporate a CTL immune response delay.

• Applying Lyapunov functional procedures to determine global stability by the reproduction numbers R0 and R1.

• The model with delay experiences a destabilization of the infected steady state leading to Hopf bifurcation and periodic solutions.

• We estimate the length of delay to preserve the stability of bifurcating limit cycle using Nyquist criteria.
