Population Dynamics and the Epidemiological Model Proposed by Severo

H.M YANG

Abstract


We revisit the non-bilinear incidence rate model proposed by Severo, in order to introduce a derived dynamical model taking into account the heterogeneities related to environment, immunity and genetics. The properties of that model can be better understood by the means of the population dynamics theory.
