Resumen:
We present a cellular automata model developed to study the evolution of an infectivity nucleusin several conditions and for two kinds of epidemiologically di erent diseases. We analysethe role of the model parameters, concerning the epidemiological and demographic aspectsof the problem, and of the evolution rules in relation to the spread of such infectious diseases,the arising of periodic temporal modulations related to the infectivity and recovery fronts,and the evolution of travelling waves. Among the obtained results we nd analogies to endemicsituations and pandemics.
