Integrating epidemiological and genetic data with different sampling intensities into a dynamic model of respiratory syncytial virus transmission
Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for a significant burden of severe acute lower respiratory tract illness in children under 5 years old; particularly infants. Prior to rolling out any vaccination program, identification of the source of infant infections could further guide...
