Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0682.00021.]
We consider simple compartmental models for infectious diseases with exposed and infective periods of fixed length. In particular, we examine the effect of incorporating nonlinear population dynamics into such models on threshold phenomena and the stability of endemic equilibria.
