We show that, generically, cooperative coinfection exhibits discontinuous transitions from the disease free to high prevalence state when a critical transmission rate is crossed. To understand the general behavior of the system and identify the nature of phase transitions, we investigated the dynamics on 2d square lattices and random networks while monitoring the fraction of non-susceptible nodes, 1 − ρ S in equilibrium, i.e. the fraction of nodes that are either infected by A or B or both, as a function of transmission rate parameters p and q. When p increases beyond the critical point p o c ≈ 0.181, the system exhibits a discontinuous jump to a large endemic state, see Fig. 2a , contrary to the single disease case (conventional SIS dynamics with a threshold p c ).	./cache/cord-103797-aowe4kyl.txt	./txt/cord-103797-aowe4kyl.txt
