Supplement: Infectious disease control and elimination: Modelling the impact of improved diagnostics
Diagnostic technologies play a pivotal part in understanding and addressing the burden of infectious diseases. The Diagnostics Modelling Consortium was established in 2013 to facilitate the integration of diagnostic data into models of disease transmission dynamics.
