Here, we consider an SIS epidemic model where the individuals are distributed on several distinct patches. We construct a stochastic model and then prove that it converges to a deterministic model as the total population size tends to infinity. Furthermore, we show the existence and the global stability of a unique endemic equilibrium provided that the migration rates of susceptible and infectious individuals are equal. Finally, we compare the equilibra with those of the homogeneous model, and with those of isolated patches.

The aim of this paper is to tackle part of the program set by Diekmann et al. in their seminal paper Diekmann et al. (2001). We quote It remains to investigate whether, and in what sense, the nonlinear determin-istic model formulation is the limit of a stochastic model for initial population size tending to infinity We set a precise and general framework for a stochastic individual based model : it is a piecewise deterministic Markov process defined on the set of finite measures. We then establish a law of large numbers under conditions easy to verify. Finally we show how this applies to old and new examples.
We consider the mutation--selection differential equation with pairwise interaction (or, equivalently, the diploid mutation--selection equation) and establish the corresponding ancestral process, which is a random tree and a variant of the ancestral selection graph. The formal relation to the forward model is given via duality. To make the tree tractable, we prune branches upon mutations, thus reducing it to its informative parts. The hierarchies inherent in the tree are encoded systematically via tripod trees with weighted leaves; this leads to the stratified ancestral selection graph. The latter also satisfies a duality relation with the mutation--selection equation. Each of the dualities provides a stochastic representation of the solution of the differential equation. This allows us to connect the equilibria and their bifurcations to the long-term behaviour of the ancestral process. Furthermore, with the help of the stratified ancestral selection graph, we obtain explicit results about the ancestral type distribution in the case of unidirectional mutation.
We consider the problem of identifying an infection source based only on an observed set of infected nodes in a network, assuming that the infection process follows a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model. We derive an estimator based on estimating the most likely infection source associated with the most likely infection path. Simulation results on regular trees suggest that our estimator performs consistently better than the minimum distance centrality based heuristic.
We present a model for the dynamics of a population of bacteria with a continuum of traits, who compete for resources and exchange horizontally (transfer) an otherwise vertically inherited trait with possible mutations. Competition influences individual demographics, affecting population size, which feeds back on the dynamics of transfer. We consider a stochastic individual-based pure jump process taking values in the space of point measures, and whose jump events describe the individual reproduction, transfer and death mechanisms. In a large population scale, the stochastic process is proved to converge to the solution of a nonlinear integro-differential equation. When there are only two different traits and no mutation, this equation reduces to a non-standard two-dimensional dynamical system. We show how crucial the forms of the transfer rates are for the long-term behavior of its solutions. We describe the dynamics of invasion and fixation when one of the two traits is initially rare, and compute the invasion probabilities. Then, we study the process under the assumption of rare mutations. We prove that the stochastic process at the mutation time scale converges to a jump process which describes the successive invasions of successful mutants. We show that the horizontal transfer can have a major impact on the distribution of the successive mutational fixations, leading to dramatically different behaviors, from expected evolution scenarios to evolutionary suicide. Simulations are given to illustrate these phenomena.
We study a stochastic SIS epidemic dynamics on network, under the effect of a Markovian regime-switching. We first prove the existence of a unique global positive solution, and find a positive invariant set for the system. Then, we find sufficient conditions for a.s. extinction and stochastic permanence, showing also their relation with the stationary probability distribution of the Markov chain that governs the switching. We provide an asymptotic lower bound for the time average of the sample-path solution under the conditions ensuring stochastic permanence. From this bound, we are able to prove the existence of an invariant probability measure if the condition of stochastic permanence holds. Under a different condition, we prove the positive recurrence and the ergodicity of the regime-switching diffusion.
