Abstract

Among the various causes of heroin addiction, the use of ‎prescription ‎opioids‎ is one of the main reasons. In this article, we introduce and analyze a two ‎strain‎ epidemic model with super infection for modeling the effect of ‎prescrib‎ed opioids abuse on heroin ‎addiction.‎ ‎Our ‎model ‎contains ‎the ‎effect ‎of ‎relapse ‎of ‎individuals ‎under ‎treatment/rehabilitation‎ ‎to drug abuse in each ‎strain.‎ ‎We ‎extract‎ the basic reproductive ‎ratio, ‎the‎ invasion numbers‎, ‎and study the occurrence of backward bifurcation in strain ‎domi‎nance equilibria, i.e., boundary ‎equilibria. ‎Also, ‎we ‎study ‎both‎ ‎‎local and global stability of DFE and boundary equilibria ‎under suitable conditions‎.‎ ‎Furthermore, we study the ‎existence of the coexistence equilibrium point‎. We prove that when ‎$‎R_0<1‎$‎, the coexistence equilibrium point can exist, i.e., backward bifurcation ‎occurs‎ in coexistence equilibria. ‎Finally, we use numerical simulation to describe the obtained analytical results.‎

海洛因成瘾双品系模型的后向分岔

在海洛因成瘾的各种原因中，使用“处方”阿片类药物是主要原因之一。在本文中，我们引入并分析了一个具有超感染的双菌株流行病模型，用于模拟处方阿片类药物滥用对海洛因成瘾的影响。我们的模型包含每个毒株中正在接受治疗/康复的个体对药物滥用的“复发”的“影响”。我们提取了基本繁殖比、入侵数，并研究了应变多平衡即边界平衡中后向分叉的发生情况。同时，我们还研究了在适当条件下DFE和边界平衡的局部稳定性和全局稳定性。进一步研究了共存平衡点的存在性。证明了当R_0<1时共存平衡点可以存在，即共存平衡点发生后向分岔。最后，我们用数值模拟来描述得到的解析结果
