For infectious diseases such as pertussis, susceptibility is determined by immunity, which is chronological age-dependent. We consider an age-structured epidemiological model that accounts for both passively acquired maternal antibodies that decay and active immunity that wanes, permitting re-infection. The model is a 6-dimensional system of partial differential equations (PDE). By assuming constant rates within each age-group, the PDE system can be reduced to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system with aging from one age-group to the next. We derive formulae for the effective reproduction number ${\mathcal R}$ and provide their biological interpretation in some special cases. We show that the disease-free equilibrium is stable when ${\mathcal R}<1$ and unstable if ${\mathcal R}>1$.
Keywords: multiple infections., Age-structured epidemiological model, partial immunity, reproduction numbers.
