Since host–pathogen models were first developed at the beginning of the 20th century, the ‘mass action’ assumption has almost always been used for transmission. Recently, however, it has been suggested that mass action has often been modelled wrongly.
- Alternative models of transmission are beginning to appear, as are empirical tests of transmission dynamics.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com
