In this section we present the equations for epidemics (eg malaria) spread by vectors (mosquitoes) which have an incubation time to become infectious. The model will give rise to a system of distributed delay differential equations. A model for the spread of an infectious disease (involving only susceptibles and infective individuals) transmitted by a vector (eg mosquitoes) after an incubation time, was proposed by Cooke [6]. Extensions of his model were considered by Busenberg and Cooke [5], Marcati and Pozio [11] and Volz [13]. Thieme [12] has also considered the model by Cooke, extending the model by continuously stratifying the population according to the average frequency of the bites by a mosquito (the vector). The present model still can be considered an extension of Cooke’s model. We assume that:(A) Human population is described by an SIR model with vital dynamics where the total size N of human population is constant (see [8]). Hence the death constant rate
