In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of positive and periodic solutions of nonlinear delay integral systems of the type x ( t ) = t - τ 1 t f ( s , x ( s ) , y ( s ) ) d s y ( t ) = t - τ 2 t g ( s , x ( s ) , y ( s ) ) d s which model population growth in a periodic environment when there is an interaction between two species. For the proofs, we develop an adequate method of sub-supersolutions which provides, in some cases, an iterative scheme converging to the solution.
