Infection age is an important factor affecting the transmission of infectious diseases. In this paper, we consider an SIRS model with infection age, which is described by a mixed system of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The expression of the basic reproduction number $\mathscr {R}_0$ is obtained. If $\mathscr{R}_0\le 1$ then the model only has the disease-free equilibrium, while if $\mathscr{R}_0>1$ then besides the disease-free equilibrium the model also has an endemic equilibrium. Moreover, if $\mathscr{R}_0<1$ then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable otherwise it is unstable; if $\mathscr{R}_0>1$ then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under additional conditions. The local stability is established through linearization. The global stability of the disease-free equilibrium is shown by applying the fluctuation lemma and that of the endemic equilibrium is proved by employing Lyapunov functionals. The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical simulations.

Keywords: global stability, persistence., SIRS model, infection age.
