Mathematical models of contact patterns between age groups for predicting the spread of infectious diseases
The spread of an infectious disease is sensitive to the contact patterns in the population and to precautions people take to reduce the transmission of the disease.We investigate the impact that different mixing assumptions have on the spread an infectious disease in an age-structured ordinary diffe...
