Verkenning van het gebruik van influenza virus sequentie diversiteit ten behoeve van de identificatie en karakterisering van transmissie gevallen
Abstract
In this thesis we evaluate the use of influenza sequence diversity to support outbreak control measures. Specifically, we investigated the possibility of identifying clustered influenza virus cases as well as chains of influenza virus transmission, and thereby gain information on transmission events to inform public health decisions.
