Characterising contact in disease outbreaks via a network model of spatial-temporal proximity

2021-04-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Contact tracing is a key tool in epidemiology to identify and control outbreaks of infectious diseases. Existing contact tracing methodologies produce contact maps of individuals based on a binary definition of contact which can be hampered by missing data and indirect contacts. Here, we present a Spatial-temporal Epidemiological Proximity (StEP) model to recover contact maps in disease outbreak...
