Abstract
A delayed three-species periodic food-chain system with Holling type-II functional response is investigated. By using Gaines and Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions is derived for the existence of positive periodic solutions to the system.
