title: Endemic disease in host populations with fully specified demography.
abstract: This study explores the epidemiology of an aerogenically transmitted infectious disease following an S.I.R. pattern in a host population with completely specified age-specified maternity and mortality schedules. A fully age-structured demographic-epidemiologic model is developed, and its demographic and epidemiologic behaviour is explored in numerical studies. The impact of variations in host population demographic structure upon the effect of immunization programs is also studied.
