The paper concerns an epidemiological model with an age structure and with two time scales: the slow one refers to the demographical processes and the fast describes the dynamics of a fast disease such as flu or common cold. The model in the singular limit corresponding to the infinite disease-related rates has two intersecting quasi-stationary steady states. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solutions passing close to the intersection manifold and show that in the models with increasing total populations there is a delay in switching between the quasi-stationary states which resembles the so-called canard solutions.
Keywords: canard solutions, population dynamics, Tikhonov theorem, age structure, stability switch., multiple time scales, singularly perturbed dynamical systems, SIS system.
