Epidemic dynamics with a time-varying susceptibility due to repeated infections

In this paper, we consider the impact of heterogeneous susceptibility on disease transmission dynamics, using a simple mathematical model formulated by a system of ordinary differential equations. Our model describes a time-varying immunity level, which is enhanced by reinfection and diminished by w...
