	  abstract     = {We present a deterministic model which describes
the dynamics of tuberculosis in Algerian population where the
vaccination program with BCG is in place since 1969 and where
the WHO recommendations regarding the DOTS (directly-observed
treatment, short course) strategy are in application. The impact
of an intervention program, targeting recently infected people
among all close contacts of active cases and their treatment to
prevent endogenous reactivation, on the incidence of tuberculosis,
is investigated. We showed that a widespread treatment of latently
infected individuals for some years is recommended to shift from
higher to lower equilibrium state and thereafter relaxation is
recommended.
