    Snippet: The terms in the denominator arise from rescaling time by the mean infectious period: see appendix in the electronic supplementary material for details of derivations. Using the well-established Gillespie algorithm . (Gillespie 1977) , this process can be straightforwardly simulated in continuous time.

    Document: The terms in the denominator arise from rescaling time by the mean infectious period: see appendix in the electronic supplementary material for details of derivations. Using the well-established Gillespie algorithm . (Gillespie 1977) , this process can be straightforwardly simulated in continuous time. In the case of an infection eventually going extinct, any human cases arising from the index case are collectively a 'cluster'. We define 'emergence' as a situation in which the probability that the outbreak will spontaneously sputter to extinction is less than 10 26 . Formally, this occurs when there are m cases of the adapted
