Inferring the Structure of Social Contacts from Demographic Data in the Analysis of Infectious Diseases Spread

13 Sept 2012

Abstract excerpt

Social contact patterns among individuals encode the transmission route of infectious diseases and are a key ingredient in the realistic characterization and modeling of epidemics. Unfortunately, the gathering of high quality experimental data on contact patterns in human populations is a very difficult task even at the coarse level of mixing patterns among age groups. Here we propose an alternative route to the...
