Snippet: We denote the length of a chain of transmission by L. Following Lloyd-Smith et al. [12] , the offspring distribution (i.e., number of persons infected by a case) is modelled with a negative binomial distribution with mean R and overdispersion parameter k (parameter k characterizes case-to-case variation in infectiousness). The probability that a chain is of length L is given by [13] :.....
