Influence of backward bifurcation on interpretation of $R_0$ in a model of epidemic tuberculosis with reinfection
There is significant disagreement in the epidemiological literatureregarding the extent to which reinfection of latently infected individuals contributes to the dynamics of tuberculosis (TB) epidemics. In this study wepresent an epidemiological model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection thatinclud...
