We study a model of disease transmission with continuous age-structure for latently infected individuals and for infectious individuals and with immigration of new individuals into the susceptible, latent and infectious classes. The model is very appropriate for tuberculosis. A Lyapunov functional is used to show that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally stable for all parameter values.
Keywords: Lyapunov functional, tuberculosis., immigration, epidemiology, age-structure, Global stability.
