Popis: The contemporary state of the theory of branching processes implies their application to any abstract population where individuals produce a set of new individuals. In this survey paper some recent developments in the study of time to extinction of continuous-time branching processes (BP) motivated by their applications in epidemiological modeling will be presented. The developed methodology and results are concerning Bellman−Harris (age-dependent) BP and more general Sevast'yanov's BP, as well.
