Statistics on dengue occurrence and dynamics of its spread in Queensland, Australia.

The Fertility, Parent and Outbreak columns present the average (value outside the parentheses) and confidence interval values that were computed by applying the Monte Carlo’s method to the construction of the disease spread network. A case is fertile if it has resulted in at least one secondary case and the reproduction indicates the average number of secondary cases per fertile case. The parent of a locally acquired case is unknown if no suitable parent case was found during the construction of the disease spread network and known otherwise.An outbreak is a set of cases connected by the chain of infections (through parent child relations). The size of an outbreak denotes the number of cases in an outbreak. Let the first case of an outbreak be called root. An outbreak generation is a set of cases that are at the same distance (by number of parent child relations) from root. The number of generations in an outbreak are called the depth of the outbreak.
