Mathematical models of contact patterns between age groups for predicting the spread of infectious diseases by Sara Y. Del Valle, J. M. Hyman, Nakul Chitnis

“…We apply the analysis to the spread of a smallpox-like disease, derive the formula for the reproduction number, $\Re_{0}$, and based on this threshold parameter, show the level of human behavioral change required to control the epidemic.We analyze how different mixing patterns can affect the disease prevalence, the cumulative number of new infections, and the final epidemic size.Our analysis indicates that the combination of residual immunity and behavioral changes during a smallpox-like disease outbreak can play a key role in halting infectious disease spread; and that realistic mixing patterns must be included in the epidemic model for the predictions to accurately reflect reality.…”
