Abstract
We introduce a certain population contact structure and derive, in three different ways, the final size equation for a quite general superimposed epidemic process. The contact structure is characterized by the following two properties: (i) each individual contacts exactly k other individuals; (ii) these k acquaintances are a random sample of the (infinite) population.

The present communication discussion will be limited to the case in which all members of the community are initially equally susceptible to the disease, and it will be further assumed that complete immunity is conferred by a single infection.

It is shown that if Σ i(i - 2)λi > 0, then such graphs almost surely have a giant component, while if λ0, λ1… which sum to 1, then almost surely all components in such graphs are small.

Asymptotics are obtained for the number of n × n symmetric non-negative integer matrices subject to the following constraints: each row sum is specified and bounded, and a specified “sparse” set of entries must be zero.
The Annals of Applied ProbabilityEpidemics with two levels of mixing

A general modelling framework for epidemics with removal in populations that mix at two levels: global and local is developed, which allows us to analyze the conditions under which a large outbreak is possible, the size of such outbreaks when they can occur and the implications for vaccination strategies.

The present paper takes into account the phenomenon of pair formation by introducing explicitly a pairing rate and a separation rate, and turns out that endemic equilibria can only exist if the separation rate is sufficiently large in order to ensure the necessary number of sexual partners.

The threshold parameters are used to derive the levels of immunity required for the prevention of major epidemics in the community and are also used to evaluate various vaccination strategies having the same vaccination coverage.

It is shown that this dependence upon elapsed time can be ignored, if attention is restricted to the distribution of the final sizes of epidemics.

Kendall's (1956) approach to the ‘general’ epidemic is generalized by dropping the assumptions of constant infectivity and random recovery or death of ill individuals.

It is shown how one can calculate the basic reproduction ratio R0 for infectious disease models where an arbitrary but finite number of disease states are recognized and where the phenomena of pair formation and separation are taken into account.

The aim of this paper is to review and to report on general results dealing with the description of a new mathematical model based on the concept of random graphs intended to describe the dynamics of sexually transmitted diseases.
