On the basic reproduction number in continuously structured populations [PDF]
In the framework of population dynamics, the basic reproduction number is, by definition, the expected number of offspring that an individual has during its lifetime. In constant and time periodic environments, it is calculated as the spectral radius of the so‐called next‐generation operator. In continuously structured populations defined in a Banach

Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]
Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control. A model for the transmission of Dengue disease is presented.

On the basic reproduction number in semi-Markov switching networks [PDF]
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 ...

The Basic Reproduction Number as a Loop Gain Matrix. [PDF]
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 ...

Basic reproduction number and effective reproduction number for North Cyprus for fighting Covid-19
The aim of this paper is to show how North Cyprus fought with Covid-19 by using R0 and Rt, as herd immunity. For that purpose, we used a SEIR model for basic reproduction number, R0, and calculated Rt values by using R0 values. North Cyprus is the first

Amplification of the basic reproduction number in cattle farm networks. [PDF]
The popularly known 20-80 rule or Pareto rule states that 20% of efforts leads to 80% of results. This rule has been applied to the study of infection transmission in contact networks, and specifically, contact networks between cattle farms.

An Introduction to The Basic Reproduction Number in Mathematical Epidemiology★ [PDF]
This article introduces the notion of basic reproduction number R0 in mathematical epi-demiology. After an historic reminder describing the steps leading to the statement of its mathematical definition, we explain the next-generation matrix method ...
