β¦ Synopsis
A delay-integral equation, proposed by Cooke and Kaplan in [1] as a model of epidemics, is studied. The focus of this work is on the qualitative behavor of solutions as a certain parameter is allowed to vary. It is shown that if a certain threshold is not exceeded then solutions tend to zero exponentially while if this threshold is exceeded, periodic solutions exist. Many features or the numerical studies in [1] are explained.
