Identifying human encounters that shape the transmission of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other acute respiratory infections
Although patterns of social contacts are believed to be an important determinant of infectious disease transmission, it remains unclear how the frequency and nature of human interactions shape an individual’s risk of infection. We analysed data on daily social encounters individually matched to data...
