The limitations of non-mechanistic methods for characterizing pathogen-pathogen interactions: A simulation study

2025-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Pathogen-pathogen interactions occur when infection with one pathogen influences one’s chance of infection or disease due to another. Increasingly, evidence suggests that interactions are a common feature of infectious disease epidemiology. However, due to both the nonlinearities and stochasticity inherent to infectious disease transmission, and the frequency of confounding (e.g., by shared seasonal forcing), simp...
