BIOST/STAT 578 A Statistical Methods in Infectious Diseases Lecture 6 January 22, 2009

Estimating R0 for emerging infectious diseases in real time

slide-2
SLIDE 2

The Problem

  • Observed illness onset times

– Exposure information

  • Is the disease infectious?
  • If so, what are estimates of transmission

parameters?

– Secondary attack rates – Reproductive number

  • How effective are interventions?
  • Calibration of intervention models.

Information Needed

  • Data

– Illness onset times – Crude population connectivity

  • Ri – Risk set for person i
  • Illness serial interval distribution

– ω(t│θ) – Mean ≈ incubation period + ½ infectious period – Incubation and infectious period information

SLIDE 4

Estimation Methods

  • fitting an exponential growth curve to the data

– e.g., Lipsitch et al., Science 2003)

  • fitting a random graph to the data

– e.g., Wallinga and Teunis, Am J Epidemiol 2004

  • fitting a more detailed transmission model to the data

– e.g., Yang, Longini, Halloran, Ann Apply Stat 2007 – e.g., Ph.D. thesis of Gail Potter, Stat Dept

Available information: generation interval

  • the generation interval, ti - tj, is the duration

between onset of symptoms of a secondary case ti and its primary case tj

  • distribution of ti - tj can be described by a

Weibull distribution w(ti - tj |α,β)

  • Likelihood of case i being

infected by case j

  • Probability of case i being

infected by case j

  • Number of secondary

cases attributable to case j

Results for SARS

Average daily effective reproduction numbers R with 95 percent CI for cases with symptom onset date before and after the first global alert against SARS on 12 March 2003 for regions where infection was introduced late February 2003. Hong Kong Vietnam Singapore Canada before alert 3.7 3.1, 4.2 2.5 1.8, 3.3 3.1 2.3, 4.0 2.7 1.8, 3.8 after alert 0.7 0.7, 0.8 0.3 0.1, 0.7 0.7 0.6, 0.9 1.1 0.9, 1.2

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Conclusions for SARS

  • SARS is a highly contagious disease

– R in uncontrolled situation is around 3 – R in controlled situation is around 0.7

  • R decreased markedly after WHO alert on

12 March 2003

– control measures have prevented 75% of potential secondary infections – which has been enough, but only barely, to stop the epidemics

SLIDE 14

Likelihood-based estimation procedure for the reproduction number R

  • estimate of the reproduction number R is

based on integrated likelihood of case i being infected by case j

  • likelihood is integrated over all possible

infection trees (genealogies) for the

  • bserved cases
  • requires the assumption that all infectious

contacts are independent

Likelihood-based estimation procedure for the reproduction number R

  • estimate which infection tree is most likely
