abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Inspired by Kouakep [16], we consider in this note a well-posed model with
differential susceptibility and infectivity adding continuous age structure to
an ODE model for a “Baka” pygmy group in the East of Cameroon (Africa).
Assuming a very low contribution of carriers to infection compared to acute
infection, we estimate a probability $p(a)$ (to develop symptomatic Hepatitis B
state at age $a$) and acute carriers’ transmission rate. The value $R_0 = 2:67 &gt; 1$ of the basic reproduction number estimated from data in the east of Cameroon
confirms that HBV is endemic in the Baka pygmy group.</p>},
