Abstract:
Disease transmission models in which infectivity depends on the time
since infection are of importance in studying such diseases as HIV/AIDS.
They also provide a means of unifying models with exposed stages or
temporary immunity. We formulate a general age of infection model and
carry out a partial analysis. There are open questions in the analysis
of the characteristic equation at an endemic equilibrium.
