About: The impact of population dispersal between two cities on the spread of a disease is investigated analytically. A general SIRS model is presented that tracks the place of residence of individuals, allowing for different movement rates of local residents and visitors in a city. Provided the basic reproduction number is greater than one, we demonstrate in our model that increasing the travel volumes of some infected groups may result in the extinction of a disease, even though the disease cannot be eliminated in each city when the cities are isolated.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
