The effect of the definition of 'pandemic' on quantitative assessments of infectious disease outbreak risk	2020-10-05		.txt	text/plain	3001	181	52	title: The effect of the definition of 'pandemic' on quantitative assessments of infectious disease outbreak risk Critically, we show that using different definitions alters the projected effects on the pandemic risk of key parameters such as inter-regional travel rates, degree of pre-existing immunity, and heterogeneity of transmission rates between regions. In this study, we examine how alternative definitions of 'pandemic' affect 24 quantitative estimates of pandemic risk assessed early in an infectious disease outbreak. This : Pandemic probability for a range of between-region transmission rates and a range of pandemic definitions in terms of number of regions experiencing epidemics. The third question was "How is the risk of a pandemic affected by differences between regions?"
