  1. SIR Epidemics and Modeling By: Hebroon Obaid and Maggie Schramm

  2. SIR Diseases • Individuals leaving the infective class play no further role in the disease • They may be immune, dead, or removed by isolation and therefore are at no further risk of contracting the disease. • Thus the entire population can be categorized in one of three categories: S susceptible, those who have not been infected I  infective, those who are currently infected R  removed, those who have a permanent immunity

  3. Examples of SIR diseases • Smallpox • Measles • Mumps • Foot and mouth • Chicken pox

  4. Basic Equations for the Model Flow of the disease: S  I  R The entire population (N): N = S(t) + I(t) + R(t) Movement between classes: dS/dτ= -βIS dI/dτ= βIS-γI dR/dτ= γI βIS γIS  I  R

  5. Equations • Let variables equal the parameters.. Simplify the equations u= S/N , v= I/N , w= R/N, t= γ τ • Taking the derivative, the equations become: du/dt= -R0uv, dv/dt= (R0u-1)v, dw/dt= v where R0= βN/γ which is the basic reproductive ratio, i.e. the rate of contraction over the rate of recovery times the population • If R0< 1, then the population will eventually stabilize at about 0 infected people • If R0>1, then the population will stabilize at some number higher than 0, indicating a presence of infection

  6. Further Info • R0 for various diseases • AIDS 2 to 5 • Smallpox 3 to 5 • Measles16 to 18 • Malaria > 100 • http://www.shodor.org/master/biomed/epidemio/sir/runsir.html • http://plus.maths.org/issue14/features/diseases/index-gifd.html • herd immunity- vaccination for an individual in a community provides some sort of immunity for the entire community
