Mathematical stochastic models of some typical viral epidemiological evolutions.
The formalisms of the probability distribution and of the associated generator function are used to establish the equations for the first and second moments of the numbers of susceptible and contagious individuals. Applications are given for the linear cases for the epidemic evolutions, for the endemic situations and for virosis in course of eradication.
