Some gut bacteria move through populations with surprising speed.

A new study introduces a new model that applies the basic reproduction number, R₀, to gut bacteria for the first time, providing a clearer way to track how they circulate between people.

Suolistobakteerit voivat levitä väestössä yllättävän nopeasti – joissain tapauksissa lähes influenssaviruksen tavoin.

Tuore tutkimus esittelee tartuttavuusmallin, joka tuo virusten leviämisestä tutun R₀-luvun bakteeritutkimukseen ensimmäistä kertaa.

Tuore tutkimus osoittaa, että pieni poliittinen eliitti vauhdittaa yhteiskunnan jakautumista – ja massa vaikuttaa seuraavan perässä.
