Abstract

The epidemiology of tuberculosis model, which includes exogenous reinfection and treatment, is analyzed. We consider both the diagnosed and the undiagnosed individuals as infectious. Since tuberculosis is treatable, we also included the treatment for diagnosed infective. We presented the basic reproduction number and the stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria. We also analyzed the model when the exogenous re-infection is set to zero. The exogenous re-infection is shown to be capable of supporting multiple equilibria. Lastly, we presented the global stability and numerical simulations of the model.
