Biological fitness quantifies the efficiency and selective advantage of pathogens and hosts in their bilateral interaction. Key questions--such as how much more infectious an emerging variant is compared with its predecessor, or how much protection vaccination offers relative to no vaccination--require fitness to be measured systematically, in real time, and ideally beyond controlled laboratory settings. We propose an approach that infers biological fitness from mostly non-biological data on inf...
