Age structure (age transition of the model population)NoNot specified0–12 months, 13–18 months, 19 months to 5 years, 6–9, 10–11, 12–14, 15–19 years, and 10-year age groups from 20 to 49 years1-year age groups from age >1 to <86 years; 6-month age groups from 0 to 1 year1-year age groups (individuals remain in the same age stratum until the end of the year and then move into the next age stratum, resembling real-world conditions)
Contact ratesNoneThree possible patterns of contact rates were derived from seroprevalence data. Pattern I had peaks in transmission from children to children and from adults to adults; pattern II had peaks in transmission from children to adults and vice versa, with CMV thus not transmitted among children; and pattern III combining the peaks observed in both pattern I and IIAdapted from Azevedo et al [13]; contact rate with best fit assumed higher transmission probabilities from mother-to-infant through breastfeeding and between young children, but lower transmission from children to adults Based on European survey of contact between persons of different ages [17]Assumed highest contact rates among newborns and other age groups, decreasing by age until 7 years old, and remaining stable after that
