We apply singularity analysis to a caricature of the simplified multistrain model of
Castillo-Chavez and Feng (J Math Biol 35 (1997) 629–656) for the transmission of
tuberculosis and the coupled two-stream vector-based model of Feng and Velasco-
Hern ?andez (J Math Biol 35 (1997) 523–544) to identify values of the parameters for
which the system of nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations describing
the model are integrable. A number of combinations of parameters for which the
system is integrable are identified. We compare them with the results we obtained by
a symmetry analysis in an earlier paper (J Math Anal Appl 333 (2007) 430-449.
