The source of individual heterogeneity shapes infectious disease outbreaks

2021-02-20

Abstract excerpt

There is known heterogeneity between individuals in infectious disease transmission patterns. The source of this heterogeneity is thought to affect epidemiological dynamics but studies tend not to control for the overall heterogeneity in the number of secondary cases caused by an infection. To explore the role of individual variation in infection duration and transmission rate on parasite emergence and spread, whi...
