A very simple mathematical model of the epidemic process of human infection in the presence of stable and homogeneous factors has been created and analyzed. The theoretical possibility of describing the detailed course of the epidemic process by means of this model, permitting the consideration of inner parameters which cannot be determined in any other way, has been shown. The study has revealed that the approximation of the model to the real epidemic process is connected with the introduction of the notion of the heterogeneity of the parasite and host populations into the axiomatics of modeling.
