Table 2. Description of Scenarios.

Scenario Modified model/data Misspecification type Description
A Symptoms onset dates of the simulated sample Uncertainty on data Onset dates precision = 0.5 days rather than 1 hour . For cases developing symptoms between 9AM and 9PM the registered time is 9 AM. For other cases the registered time is 9 PM.
B Estimation Parameter value of the within-host dynamics model Median delay between germination and symptoms = 5 days rather than 2 days
C Simulation Within-host dynamics model Incubation period for low doses given by [9] Instantaneous exposure
D Simulation Spore diffusion model Spore concentration given by HPAC model [17] Instantaneous exposure
E Simulation Population movements Occasional movements added to daily commuting data
