โœฆ Synopsis

consider the spread of an AIDS epidemic among N interacting communities (cities, say), each having at least one of the major four HIV transmission groups:

(i) homosexual/bisexual men, (ii) blood transfusion recipients, (iii) intravenous drug users, or (iv) heterosexuals.

Our model consists of a system of 4N differential equations (d.e.s). We show that as N -+ 00, the number of infectives in each community converges to the unique solution of a Liouville type stochastic differential equation (8.d.e.).

Injecting drug users are now the fastest-growing group of people with AIDS. It is mainly through sharing contaminated injecting equipment that drug users transmit infection. Research is showing that while many are reducing the risk of infection through ceasing to share needles, or sharing with a lim

Data presented in earlier publications on the 1988 epizootic among seals in North West Europe show a pattern that is somewhat inconsistent with the predictions of the standard mathematical model of epidemics. We argue that for animals living in herds or colonies, such as seals, the mutual contact be
