Effects of immune delay on symmetric dynamics are investigated within a
model of antigenic variation in malaria. Using isotypic decomposition of the phase
space, stability problem is reduced to the analysis of a cubic transcendental equation
for the eigenvalues. This allows one to identify periodic solutions with different
symmetries arising at a Hopf bifurcation. In the case of small immune delay, the
boundary of the Hopf bifurcation is found in a closed form in terms of system parameters.
For arbitrary values of the time delay, general expressions for the critical
time delay are found, which indicate bifurcation to an odd or even periodic solution.
Numerical simulations of the full system are performed to illustrate different types of
dynamical behaviour. The results of this analysis are quite generic and can be used to
study within-host dynamics of many infectious diseases.
