Convex Optimization of the Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2021 The basic reproduction number $R_{0}$ is a fundamental quantity in epidemiological modeling, reflecting the typical number of secondary infections that arise from a single infected individual.

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.

Dynamics and calculation of the basic reproduction number for a nonlocal dispersal epidemic model with air pollution. [PDF]
J Appl Math Comput, 2023 In order to reflect the dispersal of pollutants in non-adjacent areas and the large-scale movement of individuals, this paper proposes an epidemic model of nonlocal dispersal with air pollution, where the transmission rate is related to the concentration

Estimating epidemic exponential growth rate and basic reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020 The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure of the severeness of the epidemic, and is also closely related to the basic reproduction number.

The basic reproduction number, $R_0$, in structured populations [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 2019 In this paper, we provide a straightforward approach to defining and deriving the key epidemiological quantity, the basic reproduction number, $R_0$, for Markovian epidemics in structured populations.

Estimation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for the novel coronavirus disease in Sri Lanka
Virology Journal, 2020 Background The basic reproduction number (R0) is the number of cases directly caused by an infected individual throughout his infectious period. R0 is used to determine the ability of a disease to spread within a given population. The reproduction number

The basic reproduction number of COVID-19 across Africa
medRxiv, 2021 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 ...
