Abstract: In this paper we present the first ecoepidemic model with two disease strains in the same population, specifically in the predators. We present two models, in the first one of which the epidemics transmits only horizontally. The second one is more general, since it allows also vertical transmission of the disease, i.e. offsprings of infected parents also carry the disease. Answers to relevant biological questions are analysed. Surprisingly however, this ecoepidemic system with two strains cannot be sustained at a stable equilibrium level.
