The aim of this paper is to study a general class of $ SIRI $ age infection structured model where infectivity depends on the age since infection and where some individuals from the $ R $ class, also called quarantaine class in this work, can return to the infectiousness class after a while. Using classical technics we compute a basic reproductive number $ R_0 $ and show that the disease dies out when $ R_0 < 1 $ and persists if $ R_0 > 1 $. Some Lyapunov suitable functions are derived to prove global stability for the disease free equilibrium (DFE) when $ R_0 < 1 $ and for the endemic equilibrium (EE) when $ R_0 > 1 $. Using numerical results we show that the non homogeneous infectivity combined with the feedback to the infectiousness class of a part of the quarantaine population modifies drastically the behavior of the epidemic.

Keywords: Epidemic model, infection age, nonlinear incidence, persistence, Lyapunov function, global stability.
