โฆ Synopsis
A simple population model is presented that exhibits both the period-doubling and the quasi-periodic routes to chaos with the variation of a single parameter. This fact is exploited to contrast the relative robustness of the two routes against structural perturbations in the form of added immigration terms. It is found that although sufficiently large levels of immigration eventually suppress chaotic dynamics in this model, chaos reached via the period-doubling route is much more easily inhibited than via the quasi-periodic one.

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

The prevalence of anti-HEV was assessed in 2,233 subjects aged 20-79 years in the Republic of San Marino in the years 1990-1991. The sera were tested by ELISA and further confirmed by Western blot (WB) analysis. The overall anti-HEV prevalence was 1.5%. A significant trend by age was observed. Anti-
