The susceptible equation may be writtenThe factor is a density-dependent per-capita birth rate. The law of mass action gives the infection incidence , which transfers individuals out of the susceptible compartment.
Likewise,There is no birth term in the infective equation, so only susceptible individuals reproduce in this model. Infectives die at total per-capita rate . These terms define the susceptible-infective model with exponential density-dependent birth.
