A note on the total size distribution of epidemic models

Author:

Ball Frank

Abstract

A simple coupling argument is used to obtain a new proof of a result of Daniels (1967) concerning the total size distribution of the general stochastic epidemic. The proof admits a straightforward generalisation to multipopulation epidemics and indicates that similar results are unlikely to be available for epidemics with non-exponential infectious periods.
