Abstract Background A national chlamydia screening programme is currently being rolled out in the UK and other countries. However much of the epidemiology remains poorly understood. In this paper we present a stochastic individual based dynamic sexual network model of chlamydia transmission and its parameterisation. Mathematical models provide a theoretical framework for understanding the key epidemiological features of chlamydia sexual behaviour health care seeking and transmission dynamics. Results The model parameters were estimated either directly or by systematic fitting to a variety of .
