摘 要:An error in a previous publication in the calculation of the average age at first infection for the model is corrected *** average age at first infection for the effective contact rates used to generate the data ranges from 1.2 to 3.3 years of age instead of 3e5 years of age as advertised in the previous version of the *** change has an effect on the force of infection generated by this *** this corrigendum,we demonstrate the correct method to calculate the average age at first infection for the *** compare the forces of infection that correspond to these ages in our model with the forces of infection in other endemic *** show that the modified age range corresponds to forces of infection which are higher than those that are known to exist in historical studies of polioendemic ***,the results in the paper have limited applicability to real-world endemic situations.
