SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, emerged in late 2019 and rapidly spread worldwide. Inferring transmission direction between epidemiologically linked cases is an important component of outbreak investigation, yet symptom-onse...
Common misspecification of the generation interval leads to reproduction number underestimation in phylodynamic inference [0.03%]
谱系动力学推断中常见的代间隔规范错误导致基本再生数估计不足
