Title: Epidemic models with treatment

Abstract: We study compartmental epidemic models that include treatment such as with an antiviral drug. We obtain some partial results on the effects of insufficient drug supply and the development of drug resistance. This work is in progress jointly with Julien Arino, P. van den Driessche, james Watmough, and Jianhong Wu.
