In this work, we analyse a deterministic epidemic mathematical model motivated by the propagation of a hantavirus (Puumala hantavirus) within a bank vole population (Clethrionomys glareolus). The host population is split into juvenile and adult individuals. A heterogeneous spatial chronological age and infection age structure is considered, and also indirect transmission via the environment. Maturation rates for juvenile individuals are adult density-dependent. For the reaction-diffusion systems with age structures derived, we give global existence, uniqueness and global boundedness results. A model with transmission to humans is also studied here.< Leer menos
