Figure 2

Multiple infection waves during an epidemic episode. Simulations for the time-courses of epidemic using parameter values given in Table 1 with: (a) R0 = 1.6; p = 0.68; q = 0.8; T c = 12% (three infection waves); (b) R0 =1.7; p = 0.66; q = 0.71; T c = 11% (three infection waves); (c) R0 = 1.9; p = 0.47; q = 0.7; T c = 18% (two infection waves); and (d) R0 = 2; p = 0.8; q = 0.64; T c = 18% (two infection waves). Black and red curves correspond respectively to the total untreated and treated sensitive ( I + I T ) and resistance ( I r + I T , r ) infections without isolation.
