Abstract

Of the assumptions commonly used in continuous infection model, the least likely to be even approximately true in large population, is that of homogeneous mixing. In this paper, We investigate a model for the spread of infection amongst a population which is divided into classes, such that the individuals of each class mix homogeneously amongst themselves, but mix to a lesser degree with individuals of other class. The stochastic model in this form is intractable and approximations are made, yielding results in reasonable agreement with simulation trials.
