Correlation of viral loads in disease transmission could affect early estimates of the reproduction number

Early estimates of the transmission properties of a newly emerged pathogen are critical to an effective public health response, and are often based on limited outbreak data. Here, we use simulations to investigate how correlations between the viral load of cases in transmission chains can affect est...
