Distribution of age at infection☜Age-specific susceptibility and Population age distribution manifest the distribution of age at infection. This distribution at the beginning of an epidemic may be different from that at endemic equilibrium. The latter is sometimes used to estimate the reproduction number.☜59C6EF
