Abstract
A generalization of Downton's (1968) carrier-borne epidemic process is considered in which the assumption of homogeneous mixing is replaced by a general infection mechanism. Using a method and notation similar to that of Gani and Purdue (1984), a recursive algorithm for the joint distribution of the total size and the total observed size of the epidemic is obtained.
