Table 1 The analyzed models of the coevolution between viruses and CRISPR-Cas-carrying hosts

From: Pseudo-chaotic oscillations in CRISPR-virus coevolution predicted by bifurcation analysis

Two-component model

 

Malthusian

Logistic

p = const

Center M > p/(1-p)

Damped oscillations M > p/(1-p)

p = p ( z )

No stable equilibrium z > 0

Damped oscillations M > M* (finite or infinite basin of attraction)

Three-component model

 

Malthusian

Logistic

p = const

Damped oscillations M > p/(1-p) or s/(1-s) < M < p/(1-p) and l > l(e)

Stable equilibrium for M > ad + bs b 1 - s

p = p ( z )

Quasi-chaotic oscillations at all M

Damped oscillations at M < Mcr; periodic oscillations at M ≥ Mcr; quasi-chaotic oscillations at M > > Mcr
