Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number for the COVID-19 Pandemic in Minnesota. [PDF]
IFAC Pap OnLine, 2021 This paper focuses on the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and estimation of associated real-time variables characterizing disease spread. A nonlinear dynamic model is developed which enhances the traditional SEIR epidemic model to include additional variables of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths.

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 SARS‐CoV‐2 in Wuhan is about to die out, how about the rest of the World? [PDF]
Reviews in Medical Virology, 2020 The virologically confirmed cases of a new coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) in the world are rapidly increasing, leading epidemiologists and mathematicians to construct transmission models that aim to predict the future course of the current pandemic.

Basic reproduction number of SEIRS model on regular lattice
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 In this paper we give a basic reproduction number $\mathscr{R}_0$ of an SEIRS model on regular lattice using next-generation matrix approach. Our result is straightforward but differs from the basic reproduction numbers for various fundamental epidemic ...

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.

Serial interval and basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in South Korea
medRxiv, 2021 South Korea is experiencing the community transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529). We estimated that the mean of the serial interval was 2.22 days, and the basic reproduction number was 1.90 (95% Credible Interval, 1.50-2.43) for the ...

Deterministic epidemic models overestimate the basic reproduction number of observed outbreaks [PDF]
Infectious Disease ModellingThe basic reproduction number, R0, is a well-known quantifier of epidemic spread. However, a class of existing methods for estimating R0 from incidence data early in the epidemic can lead to an over-estimation of this quantity.

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.

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 ...
