We develop an age-structured epidemic model for malaria with impulsive effect, and consider the effect of blood transfusion and infected-vector transmission. Transmission rates depend on age. We derive the condition in which eradication solution is locally asymptotically stable. The condition shows that large enough pulse reducing proportion and relatively small interpulse time lead to the eradication of the diseases.
