Correlation equations for endemic diseases: externally imposed and internally generated heterogeneity

1999-05-07

Abstract excerpt

The simple susceptible–infectious–recovered (SIR) model has provided many insights into the behaviour of a single epidemic. However, most of epidemiology is concerned with endemic infections, and for this to occur fresh susceptibles need to be generated. This is usually provided by individuals becoming susceptible soon after birth or by recruitment to cohorts at risk. This paper develops a correlation model, predi...
