In this paper, we include two time delays in a mathematical model for the CD8$^+$ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) response to the Human T-cell leukaemia virus type I (HTLV-I) infection, where one is the intracellular infection delay and the other is the immune delay to account for a series of immunological events leading to the CTL response. We show that the global dynamics of the model system are determined by two threshold values $R_0$, the corresponding reproductive number of a viral infection, and $R_1$, the corresponding reproductive number of a CTL response, respectively. If $R_0<1$, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the HTLV-I viruses are cleared. If $R_1 < 1 < R_0$, the immune-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the HTLV-I infection is chronic but with no persistent CTL response. If $1 < R_1$, a unique HAM/TSP equilibrium exists, and the HTLV-I infection becomes chronic with a persistent CTL response. Moreover, we show that the immune delay can destabilize the HAM/TSP equilibrium, leading to Hopf bifurcations. Our numerical simulations suggest that if $1 < R_1$, an increase of the intracellular delay may stabilize the HAM/TSP equilibrium while the immune delay can destabilize it. If both delays increase, the stability of the HAM/TSP equilibrium may generate rich dynamics combining the ``stabilizing" effects from the intracellular delay with those ``destabilizing" influences from immune delay.
Keywords: Hopf bifurcation., Epidemic threshold, HTLV-I infection, Lyapunov functional, time delay.
