The SIS epidemic model with Markovian switching [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2012
Population systems are often subject to environmental noise. Motivated by Takeuchi et al. (2006), we will discuss in this paper the effect of telegraph noise on the well-known SIS epidemic model.

Collective epidemic models

Mathematical Biosciences, 1996
A number of models have been proposed to describe the spread of infectious diseases of the S-I-R type. Most of them account for variable infectivity levels, and very few incorporate variable susceptibility levels. In the present work, a new epidemic model, called a collective model, is constructed that combines both variabilities in a general way.

A suicide epidemic model

Biodemography and Social Biology, 1986
An epidemic model of suicides clustered in time and space is presented. In this model suicides are depicted as an infection that can be spread from person to person. The model is based on the assumption that spread of suicide ideation via various means of communication increases as the number of suicides increases.

An Epidemic Chain Model

Biometrics, 1980
An epidemic chain model is developed by assuming a beta distribution for the probability of being infected by contact with a given infective from the same household. This model includes, as a particular case, the epidemic chain model corresponding to the stochastic Kermack-McKendrick model and, as a limiting case, the Reed-Frost chain binomial model ...

Models for the simple epidemic

Mathematical Biosciences, 1997
Stochastic and deterministic models for the simple epidemic are formulated and compared. Both discrete and continuous time models are considered. The conjecture of equivalence between stochastic and deterministic models for large initial susceptible populations is shown to be of limited practical importance by a simulation study, whereas the number of ...

Estimation for an Epidemic Model

Biometrics, 1976
In many epidemic models the initial infection rate, suitably defined, plays a fundamental role in determining the probability of a major epidemic. An estimate for this rate is suggested on the basis of least squares and maximum likelihood methods. The model used to arrive at the estimate is a Galton-Watson process modified by letting the offspring ...

Models of a heroin epidemic

American Journal of Psychiatry, 1979
Heroin addiction may be considered an epidemic disease that is communicated by people who are addicted to the drug. It has been suggested that the most recent epidemic in the United States had its peak incidence in 1969. The age of heroin addicts entering treatment has increased systematically from 1973 to 1976 at a rate of less than one year of age ...
