Abstract
We consider an SIR model of disease transmission which has been formulated with delay in order to give a fixed duration of infectiousness. A Lyapunov functional that has worked for similar models does not work here. Instead, the model is shown to be a consequence of an age-of-infection model for which the same class of Lyapunov functionals has worked, resolving the global stability.
