Estimation of epidemiological parameters for the InDel and the non‐InDel strain

Epidemiological parameters	InDel strain	Non‐InDel strain
βw	1.36 (0.6; 5.6)	2.95 (1.33; 5.23)
βb	0 (0.0; 0.2)	0.5 (0.1;1.3)
Average duration of the latency period (days)	2.0 (1.2; 3.6)	0.003 (0.001; 0.15)
Average shedding duration (days)	26 (21; 32)

Numbers between brackets correspond to the confidence interval of 95%.

β_w: direct transmission rate; β_b: indirect transmission rate.
