The main purpose of this document is to give a brief but mathematically rigorous description of the network-based models of transmission of infectious diseases that are studied on this web site. Readers will be able to find a much more detailed development of this material in our book chapters [1, 2].  We also briefly describe how the network-based models that are defined here are related to compartment-level models that are used in most on the literature on mathematical epidemiology.
