A mechanistic model of infection: why duration and intensity of contacts should be included in models of disease spread
BACKGROUND: Mathematical models and simulations of disease spread often assume a constant per-contact transmission probability. This assumption ignores the heterogeneity in transmission probabilities, e.g. due to the varying intensity and duration of potentially contagious contacts. Ignoring such he...
