Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite
Toxoplasma gondii. In this study, model
construction, determining the equilibrium point,
stability analysis, and model simulation were
carried out. The results showed that there were
two equilibrium points, namely the disease-free
equilibrium point, locally asymptotically stable
if and disease endemic, locally asymptotically
stable if. The simulation results show when the
solution is stable towards the free equilibrium
point, when the solution is stable towards the
disease endemic equilibrium point without
delay or with time delay. Giving a time delay
will cause differences in the population
dynamics of each class at the start, but then all
solutions move towards a stable point.
