We consider a general model of chemotaxis with finite speed of propagation in one space dimension. For this model we establish a general result of stability of some constant states both for the Cauchy problem on the whole real line and for the Neumann problem on a bounded interval. These results are obtained using the linearized operators and the accurate analysis of their nonlinear perturbations. Numerical schemes are proposed to approximate these equations, and the expected qualitative behavior for large times is compared to several numerical tests.
