  • This paper carries out an analysis of the global properties of solutions of an in-host model of hepatitis C for general values of its parameters. A previously unknown stable steady state on the boundary of the positive orthant is exhibited. It is proved that the model exhibits Hopf bifurcations and hence periodic solutions. A general parametrization of positive steady states is given and it is determined when the number of steady states is odd or even, according to the value of a certain basic reproductive ratio. This implies, in particular, that when this reproductive ratio is greater than one there always exists at least one positive steady state. A positive steady state which bifurcates from an infection-free state when the reproductive ratio passes through one is always stable, i.e. no backward bifurcation occurs in this model. The results obtained are compared with those known for related models of viral infections
