In epidemic prevention efforts, the emergence of new virus strains due to mutations greatly complicates the prediction and management of epidemics. Most of the current mathematical models of infectious diseases assume that the mutant strain and the original strain have the same outbreak time, which is obviously an ideal situation. In order to make the study more practical, we consider the general situation of outbreaks of mutated strains. At the same time, the optimal control strategy under different emergence time of mutant strains was proposed by using the optimal control theory and numerical simulation. This study provides a new theoretical framework for the dual strain competition model with different outbreak times. The final theoretical results and numerical simulation showed that although the emergence time of the mutant did not affect the final trend of the epidemic, it would affect the cost of prevention and control during the control period.
