In the case of concrete models one uses generally contact and replacement numbers, and , which reflect the current infection behaviour. (i) (Closed-population model) An assumed constant number of community members (see Remark 2.2) seems to be justified, if the infection spreads quickly, approximately within a year, and/or, if there is a balance between births, migration and non-disease-related deaths. (Using , there arise difficulties with the dot indicating the time derivation.) If the model is to be to take a latent period into account, the class of infected is divided into subclasses in the following way. ./cache/cord-348010-m3a3utvz.txt ./txt/cord-348010-m3a3utvz.txt
