Epidemiologists use several methods to identify and analyze propagated source attacks:
1. Epidemic Curve: Plotting the number of cases over time helps in visualizing the pattern of spread. Multiple peaks suggest a propagated source. 2. Contact Tracing: Identifying and monitoring individuals who have come into contact with infected persons helps in understanding the transmission chain. 3. Genomic Sequencing: Analyzing the genetic material of the pathogen can provide insights into how it is spreading and evolving.
