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 ...

The basic reproduction number for scrapie [PDF]
The basic reproduction number R0 provides a quantitative assessment of the ability of an infectious agent to invade a susceptible host population. A mathematical expression for R0 is derived based on a recently developed model for the spread of scrapie through a flock of sheep.

Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number for the COVID-19 Pandemic in Minnesota. [PDF]
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.

Estimation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for the novel coronavirus disease in Sri Lanka
Background The basic reproduction number (R0) is the number of cases directly caused by an infected individual throughout his infectious period. R0 is used to determine the ability of a disease to spread within a given population. The reproduction number
