Abstract

We propose a mathematical framework to analyze and interpret the outcomes of human challenge trials. We present plausible infection risks with HCoV-229E and SARS-CoV-2 over a wide range of infectious dose, and suggest ways to improve the design of future trials and to translate its outcomes to the general population.

One sentence summary

We rephrase dose-response models in terms of heterogeneity in susceptibility in order to present the possible range of infection risks for endemic coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2
