The modelling includes epidemics in populations at different locations with migration between these populations. A logistic stochastic process for the total infectious population is formulated; it fits the long-term stochastic behaviour of the total infectious population in the full model. A good approximation is obtained if only the dynamics near the equilibria is fit.
