Quantifying the heterogeneity and determinants of Ebola Zaire transmission during the 10th outbreak in DRC, 2018-2020.

2026-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The 2018-2020 Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was the country's largest, and the second largest globally, amid armed conflict and community mistrust. Transmission heterogeneity (superspreading) is recognised in Ebola epidemics, but empirical estimates of its extent and determinants remain scarce for DRC outbreaks. We quantified transmission heterogen...
