We present a simple epidemic model representing the spread of a communicable disease in a spatially extended host population. The model falls into the general class of techniques which utilise lattice based simulation as a way of incorporating spatial effects. The factors relating to the persistence

We present a simple model of population dynamics in the presence of an infection. The model is based on discrete-time equations for sane and infected populations in interaction and correctly describes the dynamics of the epidemic. We ΓΏnd that for some choices of the parameters, the model can possess
This paper deals with model ecosystem consisting of biotic and abiotic components. The biotic component was represented as populations of organisms with particular eco-physiological traits and individual properties. Interspecific relationships consisted of exploitation competition and preypredator i
An SIS epidemic model with maturation delay is analysed. It is shown that the disease dies out when the basic reproduction number R -1, and the disease 0 remains endemic when R ) 1 in the sense of uniform persistence. When the 0 disease induced death rate is sufficiently small, the global attractivi
