SIR model with local and global infective contacts: a deterministic approach and applications

Abstract: An epidemic model with births and deaths is considered on a two dimensional LxL lattice. Each individual can have global infective contacts according to the standard SIR model rules or local infective contacts with its nearest neighbors. We propose a deterministic approach to this model and verified that there is a good agreement with the stochastic simulations for different situations of the disease transmission and parameters corresponding to pertussis and rubella in the prevaccine era.
