Abstract:The diversity of transmission modes and the heterogeneity of populations in the transmission of infectious diseases are issues that have to be faced in the current disease protection. In this paper, an infectious disease model incorporating age structure and horizontal and environmental spread, along with asymptomatic infection, is proposed to describe diversification of disease transmission routes and population heterogeneity. The expression of the basic reproduction number
is derived by a linear approximat… Show more
