Compound Poisson Limits for Household Epidemics
We consider epidemics in populations that are partitioned into small groups known as households. Whilst infectious, a typical infective makes global and local contact with individuals chosen independently and uniformly from the whole population or their own household, as appropriate. Previously, the classical Poisson approximation for the number of survivors of a severe epidemic has been extend...
متن کاملHousehold epidemics: modelling effects of early stage vaccination.
A Markovian susceptible --> infectious --> removed (SIR) epidemic model is considered in a community partitioned into households. A vaccination strategy, which is implemented during the early stages of the disease following the detection of infected individuals is proposed. In this strategy, the detection occurs while an individual is infectious and other susceptible household members are vacci...
متن کاملStochastic and Deterministic Analysis of Sis Household Epidemics
We analyse SIS epidemics amongst populations partitioned into households. The analysis considers both the stochastic and deterministic model and unlike previous analysis, we consider general infectious period distributions. For the deterministic model, we prove the existence of an endemic equilibrium for the epidemic if and only if the threshold parameter, R∗ > 1. Furthermore, by utilising Mark...
متن کاملInference of epidemiological parameters from household stratified data
We consider a continuous-time Markov chain model of SIR disease dynamics with two levels of mixing. For this so-called stochastic households model, we provide two methods for inferring the model parameters-governing within-household transmission, recovery, and between-household transmission-from data of the day upon which each individual became infectious and the household in which each infecti...
متن کاملSIS epidemics with household structure: the self-consistent field method.
We consider a stochastic SIS infection model for a population partitioned into m households assuming random mixing. We solve the model in the limit m --> infinity by using the self-consistent field method of statistical physics. We derive a number of explicit results, and give numerical illustrations. We then do numerical simulations of the model for finite m and without random mixing. We find ...
