Pathogen traits, such as the virulence of an infection, can vary significantly between patients. A major challenge is to measure the extent to which genetic differences between infecting strains explain the observed variation of the trait. This is quantified by the trait's broad-sense heritability, $H^2$. The patherit R-package allows to compare various estimators of pathogen trait heritability in data simulated using the toyepidemic R-package, and in real epidemiological data.
