Abstract
In most epidemiological models for the transmission of infectious diseases, the infectious individuals are assumed to have the same infectivity. This assumption is reasonable in modeling communicable diseases such as influenza [24] and sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea [82]. However, in the study of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C that have a long-term latent or chronic stage, it is necessary to incorporate the infection age (that is, the time that has passed since infection) into the model.
