Abstract
This monograph is devoted to an analysis of a classical mathematical model in population biology, known as the stochastic logistic SIS model. It serves as a model both for the spread of an infection that gives no immunity and for density dependent population growth, and it also appears as an important special case of a contact process that accounts for spatial influences.
