Most models of dynamics of infectious diseases have assumed homogeneous mixing in the host population. However, it is increasingly recognized that heterogeneity can arise through many processes. It is then important to consider the existence of subpopulations of hosts, and that the contact rate with

Intratrophic predation is a phenomenon not usually considered in mathematical models of biological populations, and yet it may occur in any model where many species are considered as a single model variable. This paper demonstrates how intratrophic predation can be rationally included in a general p
## Abstract A predatorโprey model is proposed within the general scheme of extended thermodynamics. An additional equation of balance is needed to account for the flux of the number density of the predator as an independent field variable. Copyright ยฉ 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
