Rae Estimating the impact of violent events on transmission in Ebola virus disease outbreak, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2018–2019 2019-07-26 .txt text/plain 4554 221 56 title: Estimating the impact of violent events on transmission in Ebola virus disease outbreak, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2018–2019 Here, we use spatial and temporal trends of EVD case counts to compare transmission rates between health zones that have versus have not experienced recent violent events during the outbreak. Since 1976, 10 of the over 34 reported Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa, 2018; Anon, 2019) . Our time series regression found an effect of violent events on estimated R across both symptom onset data and case report data, across all plausible levels of inter-region transmission (Fig. 3) , and lagged follow-up periods of 14 or more days. ./cache/cord-356242-tydil7d7.txt ./txt/cord-356242-tydil7d7.txt
