Inference results for comparing animal-to-human and human-to-human transmissibility for human monkeypox in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 1981–1984.

The layout is analogous to Table 1. The model was the preferred model since is within two of the model with the best value, indicating there is not sufficient statistical support for distinct reproduction numbers. There were a total of 125 animal exposures leading to at least one primary case and 209 human cases. Despite the size of the data set, the values are all quite small because there are large confidence intervals associated with the use of a truncated negative binomial distribution for inference [19].
