CIPOLATTI, R.; LOPEZ GONDAR, J.  y  SIQUEIRA, E.. Spread in time of some bacterial infectious diseases: a mathematical model. Nova scientia [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.8, pp.42-65. ISSN 2007-0705.

We introduce a new theoretical model to describe the dynamics of transmission for a certain class of bacterial infectious diseases. The propagation mechanism considered is the one concerning direct personal contact. Immunity factors, if present, will be ignored, but in our calculations is included the existence of an incubation period for the contagious infection. The effects of public health campaigns on the spread of the disease are also considered and the inclusion of a certain parameter ε to measure the efficiency of such attempts is proposed.

Palabras llave : Infectious diseases; nonlinear delay equations; asymptotic behavior.
