Few years ago, an intern in the team explored historical archives and identified a fascinating report describing with great detail the large French cholera epidemic of 1892. The modelling analysis of these data has now been published in Epidemics. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪

From an historical perspective, it is important to understand how past epidemics spread; but such a task is complicated by limited data availability. …
