Abstract
Global existence and regularity results are provided for weakly coupled fir st order hyperbolic systems modeling the propagation of the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a retrovirus of domestic cats (Felis catus). In a simple exa mple we find a threshold parameter yielding endemic stationary states. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. MSC: 92D30; 35L45; 35B60; 3 5B65.
