Extragalactic source counts in the Spitzer 24 micron band: what do we expect from ISOCAM 15 micron data and models?

We present the prediction in the Spitzer 24 µm band of a phenomenological model for galaxy evolution derived from the 15 µm data. Without any "a posteriori" update, the model predictions seem to agree well with the recently published 24 µm extragalactic source counts, suggesting that the peak in the 24 µm counts is dominated by "starburst" galaxies like those detected by ISOCAM at 15 µm but at higher redshifts (1 lesssim z lesssim 2 instead of 0.5 lesssim z lesssim 1.5).
