Infection age is an important factor affecting the transmission ofinfectious diseases. In this paper, we consider an SIRS modelwith infection age, which is described by a mixed system ofordinary differential equations and partial differentialequations. The expression of the basic reproduction number$\mathscr {R}_0$ is obtained. If $\mathscr{R}_0\le 1$ then themodel only has the disease-free equilibrium, while if$\mathscr{R}_0>1$ then besides the disease-free equilibrium themodel also has an endemic equilibrium. Moreover, if$\mathscr{R}_0<1 then="" the="" disease-free="" equilibrium="" is="" globally="" asymptotically="" stable="" otherwise="" it="" is="" unstable="" if="" mathscr="" r="" _0="">1$ then the endemicequilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under additional conditions. The local stabilityis established through linearization. The global stability of thedisease-free equilibrium is shown by applying the fluctuationlemma and that of the endemic equilibrium is proved by employing Lyapunov functionals. The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical simulations.
