No sequencing, but by combining sub-type proportions with overall notifications and our statistical methods (academic.oup.com/aje/advance-...), ACEFA (acefa-epi-analytics.org) identified clear onset of the late H3N2 epidemic in early August this year. Sadly, reports aren't made public in real-time
Inferring temporal trends of multiple pathogens, variants, subtypes or serotypes from routine surveillance data
Abstract. Estimating the temporal trends in infectious disease activity is crucial for monitoring disease spread and the impact of interventions. Surveilla
