A framework for the modelling and the analysis of epidemiological spread in commuting populations

Résumé

In the present paper, our goal is to establish a framework for the mathematical modelling and the analysis of the spread of an epidemic in a large population commuting regularly, typically along a time-periodic pattern, as is roughly speaking the case in populous urban center. We consider a large number of distinct homogeneous groups of individuals of various sizes, called subpopulations, and focus on the modelling of the changing conditions of their mixing along time and of the induced disease transmission. We propose a general class of models in which the 'force of infection' plays a central role, which attempts to 'reconcile' the classical modelling approaches in mathematical epidemiology, based on compartmental models, with some widely used analysis results (including those by P. van den Driessche and J. Watmough in 2002), established for apparently less structured systems of nonlinear ordinary-differential equations. We take special care in explaining the modelling approach in details, and provide analysis results that allow to compute or estimate the value of the basic reproduction number for such general periodic epidemic systems.
