Topic:
A Final Size Relation for Epidemic Models of Vector-Transmitted Diseases
Description:
We formulate and analyze an age of infection model for epidemics of diseases transmitted by a vector, such as malaria or dengue fever, including also the possibility of direct transmission, as in the Zika virus. We show how to determine a basic reproduction number. While there is no explicit final size relation as for diseases transmitted directly, we are able to obtain estimates for the final size of the epidemic.
