Saturating contact rate of individual contacts is very important in an epidemiology model. A class of SIR model with saturation incidence and age of infection is formulated in this paper. The dynamical behavior of the model is studied and the basic reproductive number R_0 is defined. It is proved that the diseased-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R_0 \le 1. The endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if K_1 \ge \alpha and R_0 \ge 1.
Index Terms:
epidemic model; age of infection; local stability; saturation incidence.
