  In this paper, we propose a determinist mathematical model for the co-circulating into two circulating recombinants forms (CRFs) Of HIV-disease in Mali. We divide the sexually active population within three compartments (susceptible, CRF-1 infected and CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected) and study the dynamical behavior of this model. Then, we define a basic reproduction number of the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected individuals R0 and shown that the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected-free equilibrium is locally-asymptotically stable if R0 &lt; 1 (thus the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected becomes extinct in population) and unstable if R0 &gt; 1 (thus the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected invade in the population). Fur-thermore, we prove that under certain conditions on the parameters of the model the controllability of CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected with regard to the CRF-1 infected. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the results.

Introduction</title><p>AIDS is one of the most deadly diseases caused by a humain immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The virus destroys all the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to any other infections. The lymphocites (in particular the lymphocites T-CD4) multiplies insade those lymphocites and finally destroy them. When the lymphocytes are reduced to a certain numbers, the immune system stops functioning correctly. Therefore, the individual can catch any kind of disease that might kill him easily because of the failure of the immune system. However, there exist drugs that can slow down the evolution of the virus. HIV is usually transmitted in three different ways: sexual contacts, blood transfusion, and exchange between mother and child during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.</p><p>Humain immunodfiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of AIDS, is classified into types, groups, subtypes and sub-subtypes according to its genetic diversity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.59862-ref1">1</xref>] . Subtypes and sub-subtypes can form additional mosaic forms: circulating recombinant forms (CRFs). To date, at least 49 CRF are recognised in diverse parts of the world (http://www.hiv.lanl.govcontent/sequence/HIV/CRFs/CRFs.html).</p><p>We propose in this work a mathematical model which describes the cocirculation of two circulating recombinants forms (CRF-1 and CRF-2) of the HIV-1 in Mali. We suppose that the CRF-1 is not resistant in antiretrovirals and it is in an endemic state in the population, whereas the CRF-2 and CRF-12 which is the recombination of the CRF-1 and CRF-2 resist antiretrovirals.</p><p>The population is divided into tree compartments (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>): the susceptible (susceptible individuals for CRF-1 and CRF-2 represented by S), the CRF-1 infected (infected individuals by CRF-1) represented by Y<sub>1</sub> and the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected (infected individuals by CRF-2 or CRF-12) represented by Y<sub>2</sub>.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Experimental Motivation and Main Results</title><p>Our Model is based on the model proposed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.59862-ref2">2</xref>] , which takes into account the cocirculating of two strains of influenza. We modified two points: in the first we removed the compartment of immune and after we added the possibility for susceptible one infected by a mutant to go into the compartment of this last one. So we have a model <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x5.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> in two circulating recombinants forms. Three compartments are thus defined by the state of the individuals (<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x6.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>or<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x7.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>) concerning each both circulating recombinant form (CRF-1 and CRF-2). The passage in time of the population size in the different states is governed by a system of differential equation a little more complicated than the standard model<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x8.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>. For describing the CRF-1 and CRF-2 transmission, a dynamics between the compartments due to the CRF-1 and CRF-2 has to be specified. Each individual of the population is considered to belong to one of the three compartments: susceptible (denoted by<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x9.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>), CRF-1 infected, (denoted by Y<sub>1</sub>), CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected (denoted by Y<sub>2</sub>).</p><p>Our model is given by the following system of ODEs:</p><disp-formula id="scirp.59862-formula63"><label>(1)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x10.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>where the parameters are defined in <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref>.</p><fig id="fig1"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref></label><caption><title> Representation of the model</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x11.png"/></fig><p>To analyse the model (7), we introduce the following variables:</p><disp-formula id="scirp.59862-formula64"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x12.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>Then,<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x13.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>.

In west Africa, the high prevalence of CRF02-AG, and cocirculation of subtype A, CRF01-AE, CRF06-cpx and other complex intersubtype recombinants has been well documented. Mali, situated in the heart of west Africa, is likely to be affected by the spread of recombinant subtypes. In Mali, of 23 samples we examined, 16 were classified as CRF02-AG, and three has a sub-subtype A3, Among the remaining HIV-1 strains, CRF06-cpx and CRF09-cpx were each found in two patients according [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.59862-ref3">3</xref>] .

Conclusion</title><p>In this paper, we showed theoretically and numerically that if the basic reproduction number<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x140.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, the CRF-2 or CRF-12 desease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, it is shown by using the exterior contingent cone that it is possible to control in the population of Mali the infected by the circulating recombinants forms CRF-2 and CRF-12 which resist the antiretroviral treatments by adjusting one coefficient. Thus, it will be possible to predict a certain accuracy the evolution level of these circulating recombinant forms CRF-2 and CRF-12 by adjusting the reinfection probability. In our simulation, it is important to see that, if the reinfection probability <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x140.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-2860065x141.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> attains 0.5%, then the carrier individuals of these forms CRF-2 and CRF-12 will not exceed 20% of all the infected individuals.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>MahamadouAlassane,AmadouMahamane,Ouat&#233;niDiallo,J&#233;r&#244;mePousin, (2015) Mathematical Model of HIV-1 Circulating Recombinants Forms in Mali.
