Abstract
An age-structured epidemiological model for the disease transmission dynamics of TB is studied. We show that the infection-free steady state is locally and globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproductive number is below one, and in this case, the disease always dies out. We prove that the endemic steady state exists when the basic reproductive number is above one. In addition, the endemic steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproductive number is above one and death rate due to TB is zero.
