The basic reproduction number of COVID-19 across Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The pandemic of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) took the world by surprise. Following the first outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, several models have been developed to study and understand its transmission dynamics ...

Basic Reproduction Number of Chikungunya Virus Transmitted by Aedes Mosquitoes [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We estimated the weighted mean basic reproduction number (R0) of chikungunya virus based on outbreak size. R0 was 3.4 (95% CI 2.4–4.2) and varied for 2 primary chikungunya mosquito vectors: 4.1 (95% CI 1.5–6.6) for Aedes aegypti and 2.8 (95% CI 1.8–3.8 ...

Dynamic mapping of dengue basic reproduction number [PDF]
Results in Physics, 2021 We developed a method to produce time-varying maps for dengue transmission risk, using the Ross-Macdonald framework and differential equations to estimate spatially the basic reproduction number (R0) of a vector-borne disease.

Estimating the basic reproduction number at the beginning of an outbreak. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 We compare several popular methods of estimating the basic reproduction number, R0, focusing on the early stages of an epidemic, and assuming weekly reports of new infecteds.

Interpretation of the Basic and Effective Reproduction Number [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2020 In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number (R0) is a term that describes the expected number of infections generated by 1 case in a susceptible population.

Complexity of the Basic Reproduction Number (R0) [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 The basic reproduction number (R0), also called the basic reproduction ratio or rate or the basic reproductive rate, is an epidemiologic metric used to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents.

Estimating the basic reproduction number from noisy daily data. [PDF]
J Theor Biol, 2022 In this paper, we propose an easy to implement generalized linear models (GLM) methodology for estimating the basic reproduction number, R0, a major epidemic parameter for assessing the transmissibility of an infection. Our approach rests on well known qualitative properties of the classical SIR and SEIR systems for large populations.

The Basic Reproduction Number as a Loop Gain Matrix. [PDF]
IEEE Control Syst Lett, 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic and the disordered reactions of most governments made the importance of mathematical modelling and model-based predictions evident, even outside the scientific community. The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] quickly entered the common jargon, as a concise but effective tool to communicate the spreading power of a ...

On the basic reproduction number in semi-Markov switching networks [PDF]
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 Basic reproduction number $ \mathcal {R}_0 $ in network epidemic dynamics is studied in the case of stochastic regime-switching networks. For generality, the dependence between successive networks is considered to follow a continuous time semi-Markov ...

Estimation of Hospital Potential Capacity and Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 In order to reflect the population covered by institutional medical services, the concept of hospital potential capacity is proposed and a formula for its estimation is developed based on a population dynamic model.
