We investigate the stability of an SIR epidemic model with stage structure and time delay. By analyzing the eigenvalues of the corresponding characteristic equation, the local stability of each feasible equilibrium of the model is established. By using comparison arguments, it is proved when the basic reproduction number is less than unity, the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. When the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, sufficient conditions are derived for the global stability of an endemic equilibrium of the model. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results.

<em>Stability and equilibrium of malaria&rsquo;s epidemics in Manokwari Barat district based on SIR epidemic model will be discussed in this paper. The SIR epidemic model can be applied to make a model of endemic diseases like malaria. Based on this research, there are 2 types of the equilibrium of malaria&rsquo;s epidemics in Manokwari Barat District, endemic and non endemic point.</em>
