The contagion curve is the plot of an equation fitted to the contagion histogram using Maple 10. (See equation 2, Contagion probability estimate by time expressed in days and Additional file 1 - Contagion contour estimation details, Equation 2.) The zero for the contagion curve is adjusted to reflect the probable day of contagion, rather than when viral loads appear. The contagion equation provides a conservative continuous probability of the infection of one individual exposed to infection by aerosol versus time expressed in days.
