Primes¶
- Path
- In epidemiology chains of transmission are paths through the contact network, and contact tracing reconstructs a path from index case to subsequent infections.
This sourceModels transmission chains as paths through a contact network, with contact tracing reconstructing the path from index case onward and ring vaccination severing forward transmission edges.

The article models a chain of transmission from index cases and contact tracing of diagnosed cases' contacts, but never frames them as paths through a contact network.
“Figure 2 , the timing of the key events in the chain of transmission and intervention is shown schematically.”
- In epidemiology chains of transmission are paths through the contact network, and contact tracing reconstructs a path from index case to subsequent infections.
- Sacrifice Periphery To Defend Core
- In disease control it is ring vaccination and ring culling, sacrificing a perimeter around the protected population.
This sourceAnalyzes ring vaccination — immunizing a perimeter of contacts around cases to contain spread — as a containment strategy that sacrifices/treats a ring around the protected population.

Kretzschmar et al. model ring vaccination of contacts around diagnosed smallpox cases as a containment strategy; it says nothing of ring culling.
“We investigated which conditions are the best for effective use of ring vaccination, a strategy in which direct contacts of diagnosed cases are identified and vaccinated.”
- In disease control it is ring vaccination and ring culling, sacrificing a perimeter around the protected population.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
