The authors would like to correct an error printed in ‘Risk factors for the evolutionary emergence of pathogens’.
There was an error in the top panel of figure 1c. The correct figure is presented below.
Figure 1.
(a) Examples of contact distributions, described by the PGF g(z), along with the corresponding offspring distributions, described by the PGF Γ(s), for transmissibility (b) T = 0.1 and (c) T = 0.5. Contact distributions, all with mean 5, are: top row, mixed deterministic with 10% superspreaders; middle row, Poisson; bottom row, negative binomial with dispersion β = 1 (i.e. geometric).
