Correction to: Communications Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-01609-6, published online 5 January 2021.
In the original version of the published manuscript, there was an error in Eq. 2 in which the tau was misplaced and denoted as a multiplier of the distribution of the proportion of secondary infections caused by a primary infection that occurred τ days previously (1) rather than as a power to which r(t) is raised (2)
-
(1)
Original version \(R\left( t \right) = 1{\mathrm{/}}\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_\tau {{\mathrm{e}}^{ - r(t)}\tau p(\tau )}\)
-
(2)
Corrected version \(R\left( t \right) = 1/\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_\tau {{\mathrm{e}}^{ - r(t)\tau }p(\tau )}\)
