Analysis of a Disease Transmission Model with two Groups of Infectives

arXiv:math/0010150

Abstract

In this paper, we give a complete analysis of an SIS epidemiological model in a population of varying size with two dissimilar groups of infective individuals. It is mainly based on the discussion of the existence and stability of equilibria of the proportions system and the result is in terms of a threshold parameter which governs the stability of the disease free equilibrium.
