Abstract
A natural way to begin the treatment of models of vertical transmission is to extend the classical epidemic models as contained, for example, in the book of Bailey [1975]. In order to provide a baseline for understanding the effects of vertical transmission and to introduce some of the standard terminology we briefly describe the classical Kermack-McKendrick [1927] model of an Sā I ā R epidemic.
