Dashed line indicates mean, area in grey indicates 95% CI of global pooled estimate. Arrows indicate that upper 95% confidence interval reaches infinity. Point estimates in grey are not included in meta-analysis for global pooled estimate. B Proportion of most infectious primary cases that generate 80% of secondary casesarranged in alphabetical order. Dashed line indicates empirical ‘20/80 rule’.
