This paper studies the transmission process of Tuberculosis (TB) via mycobacterium virus. Tuberculosis epidemical ways attacks when the weather changes from dry to rainy season. In this study, mathematical modeling of tuberculosis was constructed by using Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model. Derived from a system of nonlinear differential equations, a mathematical modeling of the transmission process to the spread of tuberculosis involving vertical transmission process was formed. With some assumptions, the models generated by four-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system are reduced to three dimensions. In fact, when this model is plugin (or compared) to the theoretical model, it was more realistic and suitable for local situation. The results of simulation for SIR model successfully described and predicted the number of TB cases. © 2015 American Scientific Publishers, All rights Reserved.
