Our new preprint is out! We compiled over 350 transmission trees from published literature into a database, which we used to answer questions about superspreading. Trees are available at http://outbreaktrees.ecology.uga.edu. @drake_lab @_paigebmiller https://twitter.com/medrxivpreprint/status/1349305824989085696

Infectious disease forecasting relies on surveillance. Many studies focused on improving forecast methods. However, under resource constraint, it's also important to know where to collect the most informative data. Check out our new study in @NatureComms.
Optimizing respiratory virus surveillance networks using uncertainty propagation
Lack of a widespread surveillance network hampers accurate infectious disease forecasting. Here the authors provide a framework to optimize the select...
