Estimating the reproduction number and transmission heterogeneity from the size distribution of clusters of identical pathogen sequences
2023-04-06
Abstract excerpt
Quantifying transmission intensity and heterogeneity is crucial to ascertain the threat posed by infectious diseases and inform the design of interventions. Methods that jointly estimate the reproduction number R and the dispersion parameter k have however mainly remained limited to the analysis of epidemiological clusters or contact tracing data, whose collection often proves difficult. Here, we show that clust...
