Modeling Transmission of Tuberculosis with MDR and Undetected Cases

This paper presents a novel mathematical model with multidrug-resistant (MDR) and undetected TB cases. The theoretical analysis indicates that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0<1; otherwise, the system may exist a locally asymptotically stable endemic equilibriu...
