Event

State transition

Event rate

Birth of a susceptible

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow \mathscr {(S}+1\mathscr {,I,R)}\)

\(e_1=\mu H\)

Death of a susceptible

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow \mathscr {(S}-1\mathscr {,I,R)}\)

\(e_2=\mu {\mathscr {S}}\)

Symptomatic infection

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow ({\mathscr {S}}-1,{\mathscr {I}}+1,{\mathscr {R}})\)

\(e_3=\sigma {\mathscr {F}}(t) {\mathscr {S}}\)

Death of an infected

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow \mathscr {(S,I}-1, {\mathscr {R}})\)

\(e_4=\mu {\mathscr {I}}\)

Anthrax-related death

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow \mathscr {(S,I}-1,{\mathscr {R}})\)

\(e_5=\alpha {\mathscr {I}}\)

Asymptomatic infection

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow ({\mathscr {S}}-1,{\mathscr {I}},{\mathscr {R}}+1)\)

\(e_6=(1-\sigma ){\mathscr {F}}(t) {\mathscr {S}}\)

Death of a recovered

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow \mathscr {(S,I,R}-1)\)

\(e_7=\mu {\mathscr {R}}\)

Immunity loss

\(\mathscr {(S,I,R)}\rightarrow ({\mathscr {S}}+1,{\mathscr {I}},{\mathscr {R}}-1)\)
