Stochastic epidemic models with a backward bifurcation

Two new stochastic epidemic models, a continuous-time Markov chainmodel and a stochastic differential equation model, are formulated. These arebased on a deterministic model that includes vaccination and is applicableto pertussis. For some parameter values, the deterministic model exhibitsa backwa...
