Two models for TB transitions among different stages of the disease are presented and analyzed, assuming to to have available a large basin of susceptibles. We concentrate on the ways the infected move from the classes of latent to diseased, and possibly back upon successful treatment, or toward acute stages of the disease for drug resistant cases due to improper, incomplete or ineffective healing measures. Some conditions for the eradication of the disease are extracted from analytical considerations and simulation results.

Abstract
Two models for TB transitions among different stages of the disease are presented and analyzed, assuming to to have available a large basin of susceptibles. We concentrate on the ways the infected move from the classes of latent to diseased, and possibly back upon successful treatment, or toward acute stages of the disease for drug resistant cases due to improper, incomplete or ineffective healing measures. Some conditions for the eradication of the disease are extracted from analytical considerations and simulation results.
