Abstract

In this chapter we describe models for epidemics, acting on a sufficiently rapid time scale that demographic effects, such as births, natural deaths, immigration into and emigration out of a population may be ignored. The prototype epidemic model is the simple Kermack–McKendrick model studied in Sect. 2.​4.
