Epidemic transmission on SEIR stochastic models with nonlinear incidence rate

Our interest is to quantify the spread of an infective process with latency period and generic incidence rate that takes place in a Önite and homogeneous population. Within a stochastic framework, two random variables are deÖned to describe the variations of the number of secondary cases produced by...

Sumario:Our interest is to quantify the spread of an infective process with latency period and generic incidence rate that takes place in a Önite and homogeneous population. Within a stochastic framework, two random variables are deÖned to describe the variations of the number of secondary cases produced by an index case inside of a closed population. Computational algorithms are presented in order to characterize both random variables. Finally, theoretical and algorithmic results are illustrated by several numerical examples.
