Construction of epidemic curves can refine information about the possible source(s) of the outbreak, enabling development of hypothesises for further environmental and analytical investigation:
These include:
- Refining the estimate of the point in time of occurrence of a focal point source
- Identifying multiple possible sources of exposure
- Distinguishing primary and secondary cases
- Unmasking outbreak source through epidemic curve segmentation
(there could be other examples/topics here)
