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.

Estimation of the basic reproduction number of Alpha and Delta variants of COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2022
Estimating the basic reproduction number of a pandemic and the changes that appear on this value over time provide a good understanding of the contagious nature of the virus and efficiency of the controlling strategies.

Dynamic mapping of dengue basic reproduction number

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 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 ...

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 ...

PM_2.5 as a major predictor of COVID-19 basic reproduction number in the USA. [PDF]

Environ Res, 2021
Many studies have proposed a relationship between COVID-19 transmissibility and ambient pollution levels. However, a major limitation in establishing such associations is to adequately account for complex disease dynamics, influenced by e.g.

Studies on the basic reproduction number in stochastic epidemic models with random perturbations. [PDF]

Adv Differ Equ, 2021
In this paper, we discuss the basic reproduction number of stochastic epidemic models with random perturbations. We define the basic reproduction number in epidemic models by using the integral of a function or survival function.
