Estimation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for the novel coronavirus disease in Sri Lanka
Virology Journal, 2020 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

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.

Efficient numerical computation of the basic reproduction number for structured populations [PDF]
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2021 As widely known, the basic reproduction number plays a key role in weighing birth/infection and death/recovery processes in several models of population dynamics. In this general setting, its characterization as the spectral radius of next generation operators is rather elegant, but simultaneously poses serious obstacles to its practical determination.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Genealogy with seasonality, the basic reproduction number, and the influenza pandemic [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2010 The basic reproduction number R (0) has been used in population biology, especially in epidemiology, for several decades. But a suitable definition in the case of models with periodic coefficients was given only in recent years. The definition involves the spectral radius of an integral operator.
