Threshold behaviour for a chain-binomial S-I-S infectious disease.

C Lefèvre

    Journal of Mathematical Biology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces an enhanced S-I-S infectious disease model, considering contact distributions and infection probabilities. It aims to determine conditions for disease endemicity, particularly when multiple infective contacts are required for transmission.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Mathematical Biology
    • Infectious Disease Modeling

    Background:

    • Existing S-I-S models by Cooke et al. (1977) and Longini (1980) are foundational.
    • Previous models often simplify contact patterns and infection probabilities during infectious periods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and analyze a deterministic chain-binomial model for S-I-S infectious diseases.
    • To investigate the conditions under which an infectious disease becomes endemic.
    • To extend existing models by incorporating contact number distributions and variable infection probabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a deterministic chain-binomial model for S-I-S dynamics.
    • Analysis of the model to identify endemicity thresholds.
    • Detailed examination of a specific scenario requiring at least K+1 infective contacts for transmission.

    Main Results:

    • Partial results on disease endemicity conditions were derived.
    • A complete threshold analysis proved intricate.
    • The specific case with a minimum of K+1 infective contacts was analyzed in detail.

    Conclusions:

    • The enhanced model provides a more nuanced understanding of infectious disease dynamics.
    • Endemicity thresholds are influenced by contact patterns and infection probabilities.
    • Further research is needed for a complete analysis of complex threshold behaviors.
