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.

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.

Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2012 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.

Convex Optimization of the Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2022 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. While $R_0$ is widely known to scientists, policymakers, and the general public, it has received comparatively little attention in the controls community.

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 ...

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 ...

, 2012 The basic reproduction number (or ratio) R₀ is arguably the most important quantity in infectious disease epidemiology. It is among the quantities most urgently estimated for infectious diseases in outbreak situations, and its value provides insight when designing control interventions for established infections.

On the basic reproduction number in continuously structured populations [PDF]
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2020 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

Basic reproduction number and effective reproduction number for North Cyprus for fighting Covid-19 [PDF]
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

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.
