Abstract
Classical models of epidemics by Ross and McKendrick have to be revisited in order to take into account the demography (fecundity and migration) both of host and vector populations and also diffusion and mutation of infectious agents. We will study three models along different age classes of human, with and without mosquitoes by using the copula function, and we will conduct a simulation study for two of these models.
