Estimating the Relative Probability of Direct Transmission between Infectious Disease Patients

2019-04-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Estimating infectious disease parameters such as the serial interval (time between symptom onset in primary and secondary cases) and reproductive number (average number of secondary cases produced by a primary case) are important to understand infectious disease dynamics. Many estimation methods require linking cases by direct transmission, a difficult task for most diseases...
