Household epidemic models with varying infection response (2010)
Journal Article
Ball, F. G., Britton, T., & Sirl, D. J. (2011). Household epidemic models with varying infection response. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 63(2), 309-337

This paper is concerned with SIR (susceptible--infected--removed) household epidemic models in which the infection response may be either mild or severe, with the type of response also affecting the infectiousness of an individual. Two different mode... Read More about Household epidemic models with varying infection response.

An SIR epidemic model on a population with random network and household structure and several types of individuals (2010)
Journal Article
Ball, F. G., & Sirl, D. J. An SIR epidemic model on a population with random network and household structure and several types of individuals. Manuscript submitted for publication

We consider a stochastic SIR (susceptible → infective → removed) epidemic model with several types of individuals. Infectious individuals can make infectious contacts on two levels, within their own ‘household’ and with their neighbours in a random g...

Analysis of a stochastic SIR epidemic on a random network incorporating household structure (2010)
Journal Article
Ball, F. G., Sirl, D. J., & Trapman, P. (2010). Analysis of a stochastic SIR epidemic on a random network incorporating household structure. Mathematical Biosciences, 224(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.2009.12.003

This paper is concerned with a stochastic SIR (susceptible-infective-removed) model for the spread of an epidemic amongst a population of individuals, with a random network of social contacts, that is also partitioned into households. The behaviour o... Read More about Analysis of a stochastic SIR epidemic on a random network incorporating household structure.
