When and why direct transmission models can be used for environmentally persistent pathogens
Fig 4
Density estimates of SEIR parameter posterior distributions and R0 for long-lived pathogen (A), intermediate pathogen (B), short-lived pathogen (C) and direct-transmission only (D) data sets.
The red dot in the leftmost panels indicates , where
and
. The red vertical lines in the central and rightmost panels indicate
and
, respectively. The marginal posterior distributions γ and (β, δ) are conditionally independent and so are plotted separately.
