Global Stability of an Age Structured SEIRS Epidemic Model with Screening

Article Preview

Abstract:

We formulate an age structured SEIRS model with general screen function and contact rate. A condition is obtained, and under which the endemic equilibrium is locally stable. By constructing suitable Lyapunov function, the global stability of the endemic equilibrium is discussed.
