Let be the fraction of a mixing populace which is infected with a
disease. Then is the fraction of the population which is
susceptible, and a model for changes in time is
where captures the rate of transmission of the disease in the
population and reflects the recovery of the infectious population.
For different diseases and different mixing populations, and
will vary.
