  • Secondary attack rate and superspreading events for SARS-CoV-2

    A basic reproduction number, R0, of about 2 was estimated for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, China, early in the outbreak.1, 2 However, this value only captures the average dynamics of transmission; a crucial question for control is whether specific situations and settings might be driving the outbreak. The secondary attack rate (SAR), defined as the probability that an infection occurs among susceptible people within a specific group (ie, household or close contacts), can provide an indication of how social interactions relate to transmission risk.

Science  05 Feb 2021: Vol. 371, Issue 6529, eabe3261 DOI: 10.1126/science.abe3261 Structured Abstract INTRODUCTION We used genomic epidemiology to investigate the introduction and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the Boston area across the first wave of the pandemic, from March through May 2020, including high-density sampling early in this period. Our analysis provides a window into the amplification of transmission in an urban setting, including the impact of superspreading events on local, national, and international spread. RATIONALE Superspreading is recognized as an important driver of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, but the determinants of superspreading—why apparently similar circumstances can lead to very different outcomes—are poorly understood. The broader impact of such events, both on local transmission and on the overall trajectory of the pandemic, can also be difficult to determine. Our dataset includes hundreds of cases that resulted from superspreading events with different epidemiological features, which allowed us to investigate the nature and effect of superspreading events in the first wave of the pandemic in the Boston area and to track their broader impact.

    • 2月27日_SARS-CoV-2的续发率和超级传播事件 1.时间:2020年2月27日 2.机构或团队:英国伦敦卫生与热带医学院传染病流行病学系 3.事件概要: 英国伦敦卫生与热带医学院的研究人员在柳叶刀在线发表通讯论文“Secondary attack rate and superspreading events for SARS-CoV-2”,讨论了SARS-CoV-2的续发率和超级传播事件。 据估计,在疫情暴发初期,SARS-CoV-2的基本繁殖数R0约为2,但该值仅反映了传播的平均动态。控制的关键问题是特定情况和环境是否可能导致疫情暴发。续发率(SAR)是指在特定人群(如家庭或密切接触者)内易感人群中发生感染的概率,它可以表明社交互动与传播风险之间的关系。 越来越多的疫情调查提供了在不同环境下传播风险的见解。根据最近九份与特定事件(如聚餐或度假)相关的二次传播报告中的数据,研究者估计137名参与者中发生了48例二次感染。假设所有这些继发感染都是由一个单一的原发病例引起的,考虑到暴露事件的短期性质,这可能意味着密切接触者的SAR为35%(95%CI 27-44)。 如果传播按家庭内外的接触进行分层,则R0与家庭风险之间的关系为:R0 = SARHNH+SARCNC,其中SARH和SARC分别是家庭和更广泛的社区(即家庭外)内的续发率,NH和NC分别是密切接触者的数量。家庭SAR高,但R0适中的感染,说明传播是由相对较少的高危接触所驱动的。大的家庭SAR进一步表明,家庭之间的传播风险较低。否则观察到的R0会更大。 该研究需要更多数据来可靠地估计SARS-CoV-2在家庭内部和家庭之间传播的真实性;最近的报告可能偏向于更大的聚集传播事件。如果发现大多数高风险的接触者与病例有密切的关系,并且在这些紧密接触者的大型聚会中往往会发生超级传播事件,在此类集会期间减少感染风险的措施以及随后追踪病例的密切接触者,可能对减少总的传播产生不成比例的影响。 4.附件: 原文链接:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30462-1/fulltext
