Age structured discrete-time disease models with demographic population cycles
Age structured discrete-time disease models with demographic population cycles
We use juvenile-adult discrete-time infectious disease models with intrinsically generated demographic population cycles to study the effects of age structure on the persistence or extinction of disease and the basic reproduction number, R0. Our juvenile-adult Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) and Infectious-Salmon Anemia-Virus (ISAv) models share a common disease-free system that exhibits equilibrium …
