Varicella-zoster virus serological data: mean, median, and 95% confidence interval for the overall seroprevalence (left) and overall force of infection (right) over 500 simulations as a function of the total number of sampled individuals (N) for the Maternally-derived immunity-Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (MSIR) model with piecewise constant force of infection (top) and the exponentially damped model (bottom). “True” overall seroprevalence is the estimated overall seroprevalence using the models on the observed serological survey data (with integer age values)
