Weakly coupled hyperbolic systems modeling the circulation of FeLV in structured feline populations.
Global existence and regularity results are provided for weakly coupled first order hyperbolic systems modeling the propagation of the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a retrovirus of domestic cats (Felis catus). In a simple example we find a threshold parameter yielding endemic stationary states.
