In this paper, an age structured epidemic Susceptible-Infected-Quarantined-Recovered-Infected (SIQRI) model is proposed, where we will focus on the role of individuals that leave the R-class before being completely recovered and thus will participate again to the disease transmission. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions by studying the stability of both trivial and positive equilibria. In order to see the impact of the different model parameters like the relapse rate on the qualitative behavior of our system, we firstly, give an explicit expression of the basic reproduction number R0, which is a combination of the classical basic reproduction number for the SIQR model and some other model parameters, corresponding to the individuals infected by the relapsed ones. It will be shown that, if R0 ≤ 1, the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and becomes unstable for R0 > 1. Secondly, while R0 > 1, a suitable Lyapunov functional is constructed to prove that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable on some subset Ω0.< Leer menos
