Abstract: In the paper the fundamental properties of discrete dynamical systems generated by an $\alpha $-condensing mapping ($\alpha $ is the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness) are studied. The results extend and deepen those obtained by M. A. Krasnosel'skij and A. V. Lusnikov in \cite {21}. They are also applied to study a mathematical model for spreading of an infectious disease investigated by P. Takac in \cite {35}, \cite {36}. \endabstract
