[For the entire collection see Zbl 0732.00026.] The paper shows that an age structured \(S\to I\to R\) model has an unstable endemic equilibrium at certain parameter values, if the rate of a susceptible individual to be infected is independent of its age but is highly concentrated in the specific age class. This result shows that the stability of the endemic equilibrium in an age strutured endemic model cannot be taken for granted but requires investigation. At the end of the paper, an interesting discussion is made and a wide list of references of epidemic models is given.
