Fig. 4. Outbreak dynamics. Sensitivity with respect to the latent period A.

Fig. 4

Increasing the latent period increases the exposed population and decreases the infectious population. The susceptible and recovered populations converge to the same endemic equilibrium at S∞ = 0.202 and R∞ = 0.798, however, slower. The steepest susceptible, infectious, and recovery curves correspond to the SIR model without separate exposed population E with A = 0 days with a maximum infectious population of Imax = 0.157 after 86 days. Latent period A = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 days, infectious period C = 20 days, basic reproduction number R0 = C/B = 2.0, and initial exposed fraction E0 = 0.010.
