Abstract
The idea of the Leslie matrix, introduced into the analysis of age prevalence data, is extended to cover prevalence data for general epidemic processes. The use of the projection matrix in such situations is discussed, focusing on model construction and estimation of parameters of the projection matrices that arise. Applications of the technique to data covering varous epidemiological situations (vector-bome disease and virus infection) are illustrated. It is also shown how the technique can be of use in evolving an immunization strategy for arresting the spread of virus infection.
