Optimal experimental designs for estimating genetic and non-genetic effects underlying infectious disease transmission
Abstract Background The spread of infectious diseases in populations is controlled by the susceptibility (propensity to acquire infection), infectivity (propensity to transmit infection), and recoverability (propensity to recover/die) of individuals. Estimating genetic risk factors for these three u...
