Fig 1. Schematic of early transmission dynamics.

Fig 1

Each dot corresponds to an infected individual, and the link between dots represent pathogen transmission. Only a fraction of all infections will be detected as cases. We aim to estimate t0, the time of the first infection which is at the origin of the ongoing outbreak. Genomic methods can date a most recent common ancestor (MRCA).
