This new characterization takes into consideration the fact that at any given time, only a proportion $\kappa \ (0 \, \le \, \kappa \, \le \, 1)$, of infectives have access to healthcare. Infectives without access remain untreated and therefore, become reservoirs for new transmissions.The proposed incidence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 1 Oct 2026 · 589 accessesView PDF Cite
