- Abstract
This paper formulates a diffusive tuberculosis (TB) model with early and late latent infections, vaccination and treatment that may more properly describe the slow and fast dynamics of TB transmission. We develop a new concise approach to determine the combination coefficients in the Lyapunov function candidate for the model and its time derivative in the case that both are the linear combinations of several Volterra-type functions, which highly simplifies the computations in global dynamical analysis for the nonlinear high-dimensional model. Based on the TB case data reported in China, the parameter values of the model are estimated. We further predict the TB prevalence trend in China. Sensitivity analysis for the control reproduction number and endemic equilibrium is conducted to seek some effective interventions that can significantly reduce initial TB transmission and lower TB prevalence levels in China. In the end, numerical simulations show that the bigger diffusive rates pick up the speeds of convergence to the equilibria of the model.
