Question
SIR With Simple Demographics
7.
8.
What is the equation that describes Ro for this model?
How does host lifespan affect Ro?
9.
Suppose there is a "closed population" with no births or deaths or recovery. Could this
population support an endemic disease?
10. .
If the time scale for this model is days, what might a reasonable value for the birth/death rate
d be, if we're thinking about European Rabbits? (remember average lifespan = 1/d). You may suppose that
the average lifespan of a European Rabbit is 9 years.
