In some diseases, like chicken pox, once an individual has had the disease, the individual becomes immune to the disease. In other diseases, like most venereal diseases, once an individual has had the disease, the individual does not become immune to the disease; subsequent encounters can lead to recurrence of the infection. \special{src: 28 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel Let $S(t)$ denote the percent of the population susceptible to a disease at time $t$, $I(t)$ the percent of the population infected with the disease, and $R(t)$ the percent of the persons who have had the disease, recovered, and have subsequently become immune to the disease. \special{src: 32 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel In order to model the spread of various diseases, we begin by making several assumptions, and introducing some notation. \special{src: 36 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \begin{itemize} \item Susceptible and infected individuals die at a rate proportional to the number of susceptible and infected individuals with proportionality rate $\mu$, called the {\bf daily death removal rate}; $1/\mu$ is called the {\bf average life expectancy}. \special{src: 41 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item The constant $\lambda$ represents the {\bf daily contact rate}. On average, an infected person will spread the disease to $\lambda$ people per day. \special{src: 45 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Individuals recover from the disease at a rate proportional to the number infected with the disease, with proportionality constant $\gamma$. The constant $\gamma$ is called the {\bf daily recovery removal rate}; the {\bf average period of infectivity} is $1/\gamma$. \special{src: 49 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item The {\bf contact number} $\sigma=\lambda/(\gamma+\mu)$ represents the average number of contacts an infected person has with both susceptible and infected persons. \end{itemize} \special{src: 54 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel If a person becomes susceptible to a disease after recovering from it (like gonorrhea, meningitis and streptococcal sore throat), then the percent of persons susceptible to becoming infected with the disease, $S(t)$, and the percent of people in the population infected with the disease, $I(t)$, can be modeled by the system of differential equations \begin{eqnarray*} S'(t)&=&-\lambda I S +\gamma I +\mu- \mu S\\ I'(t)&=&\lambda I S -\gamma I -\mu I \end{eqnarray*} with the initial conditions $S(0)=S_0$, and $I(0)=I_0$. } \special{src: 63 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \special{src: 66 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \begin{enumerate} \renewcommand{\theenumi}{{\bf \arabic{enumi}}} \item Note that we also have $S(t)+I(t)=1$ for all $t$. Use this relationship to reduce the system to the differential equation for $I(t)$: \[I'(t)=[\lambda-(\gamma+\mu)]I(t)-\lambda I^2(t).\] \special{src: 73 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Find the solution to this {\bf Bernoulli equation} with the initial condition $I(0)=I_0$ for $\sigma\not=1$. \special{src: 77 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Find the solution in the case $\sigma=1$. \special{src: 81 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Graph various solutions if {\bf (A)} $\lambda=3.6$, $\gamma=2$, $\mu=1$; {\bf (B)} $\lambda=3.6$, $\gamma=2$, $\mu=2$; in each case, find the contact number. \special{src: 85 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Find \ilf{\lim_{t\to\infty}I(t)}. How does the contact number affect $I(t)$ for large values of $t$? Is there anything special about the case $\sigma=1$? \special{src: 89 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item The incidence of some diseases like streptococcal sore throat oscillates seasonally. To model these diseases, we will replace the constant $\lambda$ by a periodic function $\lambda(t)$. \special{src: 93 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel Graph various solutions if {\bf (A)} $\lambda(t)=5-2\sin(6t)$, $\gamma=1$, and $\mu=4$; {\bf (A)} $\lambda(t)=5-2\sin(6t)$, $\gamma=1$, and $\mu=2$. \special{src: 97 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel In each case, calculate the average contact number. How does the average contact number affect $I(t)$ for large values of $t$? \special{src: 101 LAB2D.TEX} %Inserted by TeXtelmExtel \item Explain why diseases like gonorrhea, meningitis and streptococcal sore throat continue to persist in the population. Do you think there is any way to completely eliminate these diseases from the population?
