Abstract

In this paper, a delayed Tuberculosis infection model is formulated and investigated. We showed the existence of disease free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium points. We used La Salle-Lyapunov Invariance Principle to show that if the reproductive number R0 < 1, the disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations are then performed to illustrate the existence of the disease free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium point for a given value of R0. Thus, when R0 < 1, the disease dies out in the population.
