Human Population Density Drives Pneumococcal Disease Risk Via Density-Dependent Serotype Transmission

2025-12-05

Abstract excerpt

In human infectious diseases, the likelihood of infection in a susceptible individual is generally assumed to be dependent on the frequency of infected individuals in the population (higher infection prevalence means more risk of infection per contact) and not dependent on population density. In this investigation we use CDC Active Bacterial Core surveillance data on over 34 million US citizens to test for density...
