| Summary: | In this paper, an age-space structured disease model with age-dependent relapse rate is investigated. We first prove the well-posedness of the model including the existence and uniqueness of the solution, positivity, and boundedness. By performing the Laplace transformation to renewal equation, we derive the next generation operator, whose spectral radius is defined as the basic reproduction number. By checking the distribution of the roots of the characteristic equation, exploring the strong persistence property of the solution and designing the Lyapunov functionals, we establish the local and global dynamics of the model.
