  • In this paper we propose a model of tuberculosis (TB) transmission in a heterogeneous population consisting of two different subpopulations, like homeless and non-homeless people. We use the criss-cross model to describe the illness dynamics. This criss-cross model is based on the simple SIS model with constant inflow into both subpopulations and bilinear transmission function. We find conditions for the existence and local stability of stationary states (disease-free and endemic) and fit the model to epidemic data from Warmian-Masurian Province of Poland. Basic reproduction number $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ is considered as a threshold parameter for the general model. Applying local center manifold theory we show that when $ \mathcal{R}_0 = 1 $ a supercritical bifurcation occurs, and with $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ increasing above this threshold the disease-free stationary state loses stability and locally asymptotically stable endemic stationary state appears. Our analysis confirms the hypothesis that homeless individuals may be a specific reservoir of the pathogen and the disease may be transmitted from this subpopulation to the general population.
