Abstract

The emergence of diseases such as Zika and Ebola has highlighted the need to\nunderstand the role of sexual transmission in the spread of diseases with a\nprimarily non-sexual transmission route. In this paper we develop a number of\nlow-dimensional models which are appropriate for a range of assumptions for how\na disease will spread if it has sexual transmission through a sexual contact\nnetwork combined with some other transmission mechanism, such as direct contact\nor vectors. The equations derived provide exact predictions for the dynamics of\nthe corresponding simulations in the large population limit.\n
