In this module, we will discuss different types of transmission and then focus on direct transmission, and how this affects ID dynamics.
In this module, you will learn to:
Assess how different modes of direct transmission affect ID dynamics.
Contrast the difference between density- and frequency-dependent transmission.
Predict how population size impacts ID dynamics for different types of transmission.
Read the chapters “Types of infectious disease transmission” and “Modes of Direct Transmission” in IDEMAB.
In this video from the “Epidemics MOOC”, Marcel Salathe provides an overview of different types of ID transmission.
