Next‐generation serology: integrating cross‐sectional and capture–recapture approaches to infer disease dynamics

Two approaches have been classically used in disease ecology to estimate epidemiological parameters from field studies: cross‐sectional sampling from unmarked individuals and longitudinal capture–recapture setups, which generally involve more limited numbers of marked individuals due to cost and logistical constraints. Although the benefits of longitudinal setups are increasingly acknowledged in the disease ecology community, cross‐sectional...
