Abstract
The equations of Soper and Frost are compared and developed. Tables are given for a hypothetical epidemic and for various ratios between initial number of susceptibles, no. of susceptibles necessary for one old case to produce just one new one and no. of susceptibles left. The results agree with Panum''s Faroe Island measles epidemic.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
