This paper gives another proof of the existence of axisymmetric traveling fronts. Our method is as follows. We use pyramidal traveling fronts for unbalanced reaction-diffusion equations, and take the balanced limit. Then we obtain axisymmetric traveling fronts in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. Since pyramidal traveling fronts have been studied in many equations or systems, our method might be applicable to study axisymmetric traveling fronts in these equations or systems. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TaniguchiMasaharu en-aut-sei=Taniguchi en-aut-mei=Masaharu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword= Traveling front kn-keyword= Traveling front en-keyword= reaction-diffusion equation kn-keyword= reaction-diffusion equation en-keyword=axisymmetric kn-keyword=axisymmetric en-keyword=balanced kn-keyword=balanced END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=19 cd-vols= no-issue=11 article-no= start-page=11047 end-page=11070 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220802 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Global stability of an age-structured infection model in vivo with two compartments and two routes en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, for an infection age model with two routes, virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell, and with two compartments, we show that the basic reproduction ratio R-0 gives the threshold of the stability. If R-0 > 1, the interior equilibrium is unique and globally stable, and if R-0 <= 1, the disease free equilibrium is globally stable. Some stability results are obtained in previous research, but, for example, a complete proof of the global stability of the disease equilibrium was not shown. We give the proof for all the cases, and show that we can use a type reproduction number for this model. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KajiwaraTsuyoshi en-aut-sei=Kajiwara en-aut-mei=Tsuyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiToru en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Toru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtaniYoji en-aut-sei=Otani en-aut-mei=Yoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Environmental and Life Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Faculty of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=School of Engineering, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=global stability kn-keyword=global stability en-keyword=two routes of infection kn-keyword=two routes of infection en-keyword=two compartments kn-keyword=two compartments en-keyword=type reproduction number kn-keyword=type reproduction number en-keyword=lyapunov functional kn-keyword=lyapunov functional END
