SUMMARY:On the Formulation of Deterministic Epidemic Models - Diekmann\, O

DESCRIPTION:All epidemic models are stochastic at the individual level. Th
 e adjective 'deterministic' just expresses that we focus on the limit of i
 nfinitely many individuals of all relevant categories. When we take a (car
 icatural) within-host model as the basis for a population level model\, we
  obtain a structured model that can often be formulated in terms of delay 
 equations (renewal equations\, cf. Kermack-McKendrick 1927\, and/or delay 
 differential equations). The qualitative theory of such equations is in go
 od shape\, but there is an urgent need for numerical bifurcation tools. \n
