Based on these data, I repeat the simulations of the previous section on influenza but with parameters for measles in Figs 2, 3 and 4. Figure 2B shows that, as expected, the average infectiousness of a household is less well approximated by either approximation than for the much less infectious case of influenza. In this case, multiple peaks of infectiousness corresponding to generations of infection within the household can be clearly distinguished, and there are more cases in the second generation of infection than in the first.
