Evolution of parasite transmission dispersion

2024-04-26

Abstract excerpt

An open question in epidemiology is why transmission is often overdispersed, meaning that most new infections are driven by few infected individuals. For example, around 10\% of COVID-19 cases cause 80\% of new COVID-19 cases. This overdispersion in pathogen transmission is likely driven by intrinsic biological heterogeneity among hosts, i.e. variability in SARS-CoV-2 viral loads. However, host heterogeneity could...
