Abstract
A simple interaction model is proposed for describing variable meeting-rates in a population exposed to a contagious disease. In comparison with the usual assumption of a uniform meeting-rate it predicts, on average, a more rapid spread of infection initially and a slower spread finally; it also predicts that, for a given removal rate, an epidemic could develop among a smaller number of susceptibles.
