Mining social mixing patterns for infectious disease models based on a two-day population survey in Belgium
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Until recently, mathematical models of person to person infectious diseases transmission had to make assumptions on transmissions enabled by personal contacts by estimating the so-called WAIFW-matrix. In order to better inform such e...
