Summary

Introduction

In addition to comparing the timing of influenza epidemics across different seasons, Brownstein et al analyzed the rate of disease spread among US administrative regions for their nine seasons of interest (1996–2005). We reported the first empirical and quantitative evidence for the effect of airline travel on the rate of epidemic influenza spread.
