Bifurcation of reaction-diffusion systems related to epidemics

The article considers the reaction-diffusion equations modeling the infection of several interacting kinds of species by many types of bacteria. When the infected species compete significantly among themselves, it is shown by bifurcation method that the infected species will coexist with bacterial populations. The time stability of the postitive steady-states are also considered by semigroup method. If the infected species do not interact, it is shown that positive coexistence states with bacterial populations are still possible
