The seasonality of three childhood infections in a pre-industrial society without schools

2021-10-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The burden of many infectious diseases varies seasonally and a better understanding of the drivers of infectious disease seasonality would help to improve public health interventions. For directly transmitted highly-immunizing childhood infections, the leading hypothesis is that seasonality is strongly driven by social gatherings imposed by schools, with maxima and minima during school terms an...
