Before revision:  We  apply our method to national-level surveillance counts from the 2013--2015 West Africa Ebola outbreak , modeling within-country transmission and importation of infections from neighboring countries .
After revision:  We evaluate our method in simulations that reflect Ebola, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 dynamics, and apply our method to national-level surveillance counts from the 2013--2015 West Africa Ebola outbreak , modeling within-country transmission and importation of infections from neighboring countries .
