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.

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.

Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2011 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.

Basic reproduction number and effective reproduction number for North Cyprus for fighting Covid-19
Қарағанды университетінің хабаршысы. Математика сериясы, 2020 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

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.

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.

Amplification of the basic reproduction number in cattle farm networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 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]
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2018 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 ...

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.
