Sex-biased prevalence in infections with heterosexual, direct, and vector-mediated transmission: a theoretical analysis
Published 2018-01-01“…The qualitative results are similar to those obtained for the previous model, but another important parameter for determining the value of the ratio between the attack ratios in the two sexes is obtained, the relative weight of direct vs. heterosexual transmission (namely, ρ). Quantitatively, the ratio of final attack ratios generally will not exceed 1.5, if non-sexual transmission accounts for most transmission events (ρ ≥ 0.6) and the ratio of gender-specific susceptibilities is not too large (say, 5 at most).The third model considers vector-borne, instead of direct transmission. …”
