Through analyzing the discrete-time model, we found that the epidemic threshold above which an epidemic can prevail and persist in a population is inversely proportional to 1 - h value. We also studied the continuous-time epidemic model and obtained a different result： the epidemic threshold does not depend on the immunization parameter h. Our results suggest that the difference between the discrete-time epidemic model and the continuous-time epidemic model exists in the high-risk immunization.展开更多
