Pathogen genomes can provide insights into underlying disease transmission patterns but new methods are needed to analyze large genome datasets. Our work using identical pathogen sequences to characterize fine scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission was just published in @nature.com tinyurl.com/bdzk9xjj 🥳

Rsero is useful to determine optimal designs for serosurveys depending on context. For example, should you target the general population, children <10y.o. or <20y.o.? This will depend on the expected annual probability of infection (FOI)...

You can also use Rsero to evaluate the impact of interventions, here mass drug administration on Trachoma prevalence in Nepal.

Rsero can assess how infection risk may vary with individual characteristics, e.g. gender and location.

Rsero can help you determine if your data are more consistent with a scenario of endemic ‘constant’ circulation, or with the occurrence of 1, 2 or 3 outbreaks in the last 50 years. It can estimate the year when these outbreaks occurred.

Serological data provide key insights on pathogen circulation. We introduce a new R package, Rsero, which is a pipeline to store and analyze age-stratified sero data, estimate the history of pathogen circulation and compare different transmission models.
