Quantifying viral pandemic potential from experimental transmission studies

Elizabeth D. Somsen, Kayla M. Septer, Cassandra J. Field, Devanshi R. Patel, Anice C. Lowen, Troy C. Sutton, Katia Koelle

This paper develops a framework to estimate pandemic potential from experimental transmission studies by analyzing within-host viral dynamics and extrapolating to epidemiological parameters.

Defining the transmissible dose 50%, the donor inoculation dose that results in airborne transmission to 50% of contacts, for two pandemic influenza viruses in ferrets

Cassandra J. Field, Kayla M. Septer, Dolly Patel, Veronika C. Weaver, Derek G. Sim, Katherine H. Restori, Troy C. Sutton

This study determines the transmissible dose 50% (TD50) for two pandemic influenza viruses in ferrets, showing H3N2 has reduced transmissibility compared to H1N1.
