| Abstract: |
| To understand V.Cholera transmission dynamics, in this paper, a mathematical model for the dynamics of cholera with reinfection is formulated that incorporates the duration time of the recovery individuals (age-of-immunity). The basic reproduction number $\Re_0$ for the model is identified and the threshold property of $\Re_0$ is established. By applying the persistence theory for infinite-dimensional systems, we show that the disease is uniformly persistent if the reproductive number $ \Re_0>1$. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, the global stability of the infection-free equilibrium in the system is obtained for $\Re_0<1$; the unique endemic equilibrium of the system is globally asymptotically stable for $\Re_0>1$. |
