Migration induced epidemics: Dynamics of flux-based multipatch models
arXiv:physics/0510061 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2004.09.071
Abstract
Classical disease models use a mass action term as the interaction between infected and susceptible people in separate patches. We derive the equations when this interaction is a migration of people between patches. The results model what happens when a new population is moved into a region with endemic disease.
