- Abstract:
-
The interepidemic interval (T) of measles in London from 1647 to 1837 evolved progressively from 5-yearly to 2-yearly by 1800. Measles mortality was significantly ( p<0.001) cross-correlated with the annual wheat prices, a good index of nutrition although at a 2-year lag. Epidemics correlated with low autumn temperatures (p<0. 001). A linearised model of the dynamics of epidemics shows that T is determined by the product of population (N) and susceptibility (beta) and that the system wi...
