Description

type:text

Assuming that the time series of contacts made by a typical individual with other individuals in a population costitutes a Poisson point process, we construct a stochastic model describing the infectivity and contact frequency which change with time elapsed since infection. Based on this model, we first consider the meaning of effective reproduction number in a changing epidemic situation. Secondly, assuming that new cases increase according to a branching process, we deduce the well-known formula which relates the exponential growth rate and reproduction number through the moment generating function of a probability distribution. In the rare contact limit, this distribution may be interpreted as that of generation intervals.
