摘　　要：Mixing matrices are included in infectious disease models to reflect transmission opportunities between population strata.These matrices were originally constructed on the basis of theoretical considerations and most of the early work in this area originates from research on sexually transferred diseases in the 80s,in response to AIDS.Later work in the 90s populated these matrices on the basis of survey data gathered to capture transmission risks for respiratory diseases.We provide an overview of developments in the construction of matrices for capturing transmission opportunities in populations.Such transmission matrices are useful for epidemiologic modelling to capture within and between stratum transmission and can be informed from theoretical mixing assumptions,informed by empirical evidence gathered through investigation as well as generated on the basis of data.Links to summary measures and threshold conditions are also provided.
