Core recruitment effects in SIS models with constant total populations.
We consider a set of SIS models for a heterosexually transmitted disease in which there is recruitment between core and non-core subpopulations as a function of prevalence of the disease. Behavior diverges from the traditional R0 threshold behavior and yields an extra pair of endemic equilibria in one case and a limit cycle in the other. Total at-risk population is constant.
