Monte Carlo simulation of the transmission of measles: Beyond the mass action principle [PDF]
We present a Monte Carlo simulation of the transmission of measles within a population sample during its growing and equilibrium states by introducing two different vaccination schedules of one and two doses. We study the effects of the contact rate per unit time $\xi $ as well as the initial conditions on the persistence of the disease.
