Pepin K, Kay S, Golas B, Shriner S, Gilbert A, Miller R, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2017 Jan; 20(3):275-292. PMID: 28090753
Our ability to infer unobservable disease-dynamic processes such as force of infection (infection hazard for susceptible hosts) has transformed our understanding of disease transmission mechanisms and capacity to predict disease...
