The bifurcation diagram of the system (2) with respect to infection rate of prey in the range 0 6 c 6 1:34 in absence of alternative food (i.e., a ¼ 0; n ¼ 0) to predator is presented in Fig. 1. It is clear from Fig. 5 (b) that disease free state can be reached for higher infection rate (c > 0:76) supplying high quality of alternative food. Quantity of alternative food supply increases with the increase of infection rate for fixed quality to obtain a disease free system. As a result, the growth rate of predator species will increase with the supply of high quality or high quantity of alternative food and it captures the infected prey population at faster rate than susceptible prey. ./cache/cord-353120-ud79az3s.txt ./txt/cord-353120-ud79az3s.txt
