Estimating individuals’ genetic and non-genetic effects underlying infectious disease transmission from temporal epidemic data

Abstract excerpt

Individuals differ widely in their contribution to the spread of infection within and across populations. Three key epidemiological host traits affect infectious disease spread: susceptibility (propensity to acquire infection), infectivity (propensity to transmit infection to others) and recoverability (propensity to recover quickly). Interventions aiming to reduce disease spread may target improvement in any one...
