Informing Optimal Environmental Influenza Interventions: How the Host, Agent, and Environment Alter Dominant Routes of Transmission
Figure 3
Venn diagram of influenza transmission mode dominance.
Numbers in different regions reflect the number of parameter sets which yield mode-specific R0>1.7. Overlap indicates that more than one transmission mode has a mode-specific R0>1.7. The 4765 parameter sets outside these three categories indicate that none of these three modes had high mode-specific transmission in these parameter sets. Note, that of these 4765 parameter sets with no single dominant mode, 577 parameter sets still yielded a total-R0>1.7 when summed across all modes. The inspiratory transmission mode did not yield any parameter sets in which it alone dominated, and only 26 parameter sets in which it ever had mode-specific R0>1.7.
