Abstract

In this chapter we describe several models for tuberculosis (TB) . The disease is endemic in many areas of the world. The models in this chapter will be extensions of the standard SIR or SEIR type of endemic models presented in Chap. 3. Depending on the typical characteristics of a specific disease, various modifications of the standard models will be considered.
