Epidemiological Model Parameters for Streptococcus Pneumoniae

A list of epidemiological parameters, their dimensions, and values or ranges used in figures for a modeling study. The parameters correspond to a basic reproduction number of 3, within the plausible range for Streptococcus pneumoniae. The dataset was created by Martin Guillemet and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Parameterizing epidemiological models based on the listed parameter dimensions and values.
• Analyzing the relationship between k parameters and strain structure based on the equations referenced in the description.
• Testing assumptions about co-colonisation efficiency based on the bounds (0,1) defined for k parameters.

Strengths

• Parameters are explicitly linked to a basic reproduction number of 3.
• Parameter bounds (0,1) are defined based on an empirical assumption about co-colonisation.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
