However, early in an epidemic, modelling efforts can be delayed by the lack of a centralised resource that summarises input parameters for the disease of interest ([Nash et al., 2023](https://mrc-ide.github.io/epireview/)). Projects like `{epiparameter}` and `{epireview}` are building online catalogues following systematic review protocols that can help build models faster for coming outbreaks and epidemics from known pathogens and unknown ones related to known families of viruses.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: keypoints

- Use `{epiparameter}` to access the systematic review catalogue of epidemiological delay distributions.
- Use `{epiparameter}` to access the literature catalogue of epidemiological delay distributions.
- Use `epidist_db()` to select single delay distributions.
- Use `list_distributions()` for an overview of multiple delay distributions.
