AB - In this paper we present an epidemic model affecting an age-structured population. We
show by numerical simulations that this demographic structure can induce persistent
oscillations in the epidemic. The model is then extended to encompass a stage-structured
disease within an age-dependent population. In this case as well, persistent oscillations
are observed in the infected as well as in the whole population.
