A Biological Model for Influenza Transmission: Pandemic Planning Implications of Asymptomatic Infection and Immunity

BACKGROUND: The clinical attack rate of influenza is influenced by prior immunity and mixing patterns in the host population, and also by the proportion of infections that are asymptomatic. This complexity makes it difficult to directly estimate R(0) from the attack rate, contributing to uncertainty...
