Infectious disease prevalence is controlled by an infection’s basic reproductive ratio, R0, defined by the number of secondary infections per individual. For many real-world diseases, infection prevalence is known to exhibit fluctuations overtime. We explore a set of renewal equations to study how delays in recovery and immunity, as well as changes in the R0 value, may contribute to oscillations of infection prevalence.
