Epidemiology: Dimensions Of Superspreading, Nature
 









Excerpts: Analyses of contact-tracing data on the spread of infectious disease,
combined with mathematical models, show that control measures require better
knowledge of variability in individual infectiousness.
The SARS epidemic was notable for the existence of 'superspreaders' who infected
dozens of people, whereas other infectious individuals infected few or none.
Were SARS superspreaders anomalies, or are superspreaders characteristic of most
infectious diseases? What effects does heterogeneity in infectiousness have on
disease emergence and control?
