Abstract

Consider a sample of individuals (in which the age classes are not necessarily proportionally represented) from a population subject to some permanent infection. A procedure is described for the estimation of the infection rate as a function of age, and of the expectation of life after infection. The method is applied to unpublished data supplied by P. C. Bull on the incidence of liver lesions due to coccidiosis (Eimeria stiedae) in the New Zealand wild rabbit.
