A simple method of estimating rabies outbreak sizes from phylogenies

2026-06-04

Abstract excerpt

The ability to estimate the size of a disease outbreak is beneficial both for coordinating an outbreak response and for retrospectively evaluating the effectiveness of response measures and surveillance. Methods such as seroprevalence surveys and epidemiological modelling can be used for this purpose, but are not suitable for every outbreak. We develop a simple formula to estimate the proportion of outbreak cases...
