Introduction This practical (in three parts) simulates the early assessment and reconstruction of an Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak. It introduces various aspects of analysis of the early stage of an outbreak, including case fatality ratio (CFR), epicurves (part 1), growth rate estimation, contact tracing data, delays, and estimates of transmissibility (part 2), as well as transmission chain reconstruction using outbreaker2 (part 3). Note: This practical is derived from earlier practicals called Ebola simulation part 1: early outbreak assessment and Ebola simulation part 2: outbreak reconstruction ...

Introducción Esta práctica es la segunda parte (de tres) de una práctica que simula la evaluación temprana y la reconstrucción de un brote de enfermedad por el virus del Ébola (EVE). Asegúrese de haber pasado por la parte 1 antes de comenzar la parte 2. En la parte 2 de la práctica, presentamos varios aspectos del análisis de la etapa inicial de un brote, incluida la estimación de la tasa de crecimiento, los datos del rastreo de contactos, los atrasos y las estimaciones de transmisibilidad. ...

Introduce varios aspectos del análisis de la etapa inicial de un brote, incluida la tasa de letalidad (CFR por sus siglas en inglés de Case Fatality Ratio), curvas epidemiológicas (parte 1), estimación de la tasa de crecimiento, datos del rastreo de contactos, retrasos y estimaciones de transmisibilidad (parte 2), así como la reconstrucción de la cadena de transmisión mediante el uso de outbreaker2 (parte 3). ...

Context On 26 June 1998, the St Sebastian High School in Stegen (school A), Germany, celebrated a graduation party, where 250 to 350 participants were expected. Attendants included graduates from that school, their families and friends, teachers, 12th grade students, and some graduates from a nearby school (school B). ...

This practical is the second part of the response to a simulated Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak taking place in the city of Ankh, Republic of Morporkia. While the first part focussed on early assessments of transmissibility, this part explores more methodological options for estimating transmissibility, and provides an introduction to outbreak reconstruction using outbreaker2. An update on the EVD outbreak in Ankh, Republic of Morporkia After some rather concerning preliminary results on the new EVD outbreak in the city of Ankh, Republic of Morporkia, Public Health Morporkia (PHM) has sent you updates of the linelists and contact data. ...
