On the Spread of a Disease with Gamma Distributed Latent and Infectious Periods
研究了潜伏期和传染期服从独立伽马分布的传染病模型，得到了关于疫情进展的多项结果，可用于评估潜伏期和传染期对模型行为的影响。
In this paper we investigate a model with assumptions as for the so-called general epidemic model, except that the latent and infectious periods are independently gamma distributed. For this model, we obtain a number of results concerning the progress of the epidemic. These results allow some assessment of the effects of the latent period and the infectious period on the behaviour of the epidemic model. Further we note that many of the results can be generalized.
