Endemic Compartmental Models/Evidence
Method evidence record

Endemic Compartmental Models

Endemic compartmental models extend the classical SIR framework to capture diseases that persist indefinitely in a population rather than burning out after a single epidemic wave. The SIS model allows recovered individuals to return to susceptibility immediately; SIRS introduces temporary immunity before loss; SIRV adds a vaccinated compartment. Together these models are foundational tools for studying diseases such as influenza, gonorrhea, and seasonal pathogens where reinfection or waning immunity is epidemiologically central.
