Here, all SWB distributions (right-hand panels) are produced from an uninfected source . (a) NB-MWB with fixed mean and increasing k ( is the limiting Poisson case); (b) Equilibrium SWB distribution for uninfected source with FOI (mean) , and varying demographic parameter (see equation (13)); plays the role of aggregation k for NB, with small corresponding to large (infinite) k. Panels (c−d) Poisson distributions with different means, (left panel) vs. SWB distributions with different (right panel) exhibit striking similarity. Panels (e)−(f) compare infectious prevalence for the two models as a function of NB-MWB w or SWB .
