Abstract
⺠We review classic mixing models and recently published empirical contact studies. ⺠We include contacts between parents and children and among co-workers. ⺠Then we estimate probabilities of infection on contact and reproduction numbers. ⺠Off-diagonal elements of mixing matrices determine the magnitude of indirect effects. ⺠Inter-personal contacts in non-Western societies warrant study.
