Extract

The model is just the natural extension to n dimensions of the classical model for an epidemic with removals: however, the deterministic version does show a richer variety of threshold behaviour. In the stochastic model, some results will be discussed for the embedded Markov chain, and also a possible control policy involving the removal of entire communities.
