Abstract
Two different theoretical functions are proposed for the age-dependent transmission coefficients which takes into account the distribuitions of the contact probabilities between susceptible individuals of age a with infected individuals of age a′. A numerical simulation is presented with measles and rubella data from two distinct communities. The impact of control measures is also simulated using the assumed functions for the age-dependent transmission coefficients.Keywords
