A novel method for estimating pathogen presence, prevalence, load, and dynamics at multiple scales

Abstract The use of quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to monitor pathogens is common; however, quantitative frameworks that consider the observation process, dynamics in pathogen presence, and pathogen load are lacking. This can be problematic in the early stages of disease progression, where low le...
