Abstract
A simple predator–prey system with disease in prey population and alternative food for the predator is proposed and analyzed. The main objective of the present investigation is to observe the conditions for which the disease in prey population will be controlled. It is observed that supply of alternative food to the predator population can make the system disease free. Enrichment also plays an important role in suppressing the infected population in the presence of alternative food. However, in the absence of predator population, enrichment increases the disease prevalence instead of reducing it. We finally conclude that supply of alternative food to the predator provides a healthy disease free system.
