Super-spreading occurs when a single patient infects a disproportionate number of contacts. The 2015 MERS-CoV, 2003 SARS-CoV, and to a lesser extent 2014-15 Ebola virus outbreaks were driven by super-spreaders. We summarize documented super-spreading in these outbreaks, explore contributing factors, and suggest studies to better understand super-spreading.
当单个患者感染的接触者数量远超正常比例时,就会发生超级传播现象。2015年中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)疫情、2003年严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)疫情以及在较小程度上的2014 - 2015年埃博拉病毒疫情都是由超级传播者推动的。我们总结了这些疫情中记录的超级传播情况,探讨了促成因素,并提出了相关研究建议,以便更好地理解超级传播现象。
