Supplementary Notes
This file contains additional discussion of factors contributing to individual variation in infectiousness, methodological details on statistical and modelling analyses, and details of outbreak datasets and superspreading events.
Supplementary Figures
The file includes Supplementary Figures 1 to 4, with captions. The figures address the prediction of superspreading event frequency, further results on outbreak dynamics and control, and estimation of the dispersion parameter k with limited data.
Supplementary Table 1
A summary of results from our statistical analysis of uncontrolled outbreaks (corresponds to Figure 1a–c).
Supplementary Table 2
Detailed results from our statistical analysis of uncontrolled outbreaks (elaborating on Supplementary Table 1), and the analysis of data before and after control measures were applied in four outbreaks.
