Monkeypox: Early estimation of basic reproduction number R0 in Europe
Journal of Medical Virology, 2022This world outbreak of Monkeypox (MPX) infections outside Africa emerged on May 2022 in Europe and spread worldwide with unique characteristics: inter‐human contagion and infection in men without specific previous immunization, prevalently men‐who‐have ...

Further Notes on the Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
, 2008 The basic reproduction number, R0 is a measure of the potential for disease spread in a population. Mathematically, R0 is a threshold for stability of a disease-free equilibrium and is related to the peak and final size of an epidemic. The purpose of these notes is to give a precise definition and algorithm for obtaining R0 for a general compartmental ...

The Basic Reproduction Number for Cellular SIR Networks
Acta Biotheoretica, 2014The basic reproduction number R0 is the average number of new infections produced by a typical infective individual in the early stage of an infectious disease, following the introduction of few infective individuals in a completely susceptible population. If R0 1 the infection can invade the host population and persist. This threshold quantity is well

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 estimating the basic reproduction number forSchistosoma haematobium
Tropical Medicine & International Health, 1996SummaryExisting estimates of the basic reproduction number,Ro, for human schistosomes are mostly in the range 1–4, implying that schistosomes should be relatively easy to eliminate from endemic areas, which is contrary to practical experience. An estimate ofRofor a site in Zimbabwe is obtained here using a mathematical model explicitly incorporating ...

On the basic reproduction number of general branching processes
Acta Mathematica Scientia, 2009Abstract Under a very general condition (TNC condition) we show that the spectral radius of the kernel of a general branching process is a threshold parameter and hence plays a role as the basic reproduction number in usual CMJ processes. We discuss also some properties of the extinction probability and the generating operator of general branching ...

Preliminary Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number of SARS-CoV-2 in the Middle East
ISSUE TEN, 2020Up to April 9, 2020, 142490 cases have been confirmed as COVID-19 infection including 5705 associated deaths in the Middle East. Most of the countries, such as Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia have

Basic Reproduction Number $$R_0$$
2017The basic reproduction number \(R_0\) plays a central role in structured population dynamics. Although some roots of \(R_0\) can be traced back to the nineteenth century, the specific concept was introduced to the demography literature in 1925. It took a further half century for this number to mature as a key concept in mathematical epidemiology, and ...

The estimation of the basic reproduction number for infectious diseases
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 1993The basic reproduction number Ro is the number of secondary cases which one case would produce in a completely susceptible population. It depends on the duration of the infectious period, the probability of infecting a susceptible individual during one contact, and the number of new susceptible individuals contacted per unit of time.

Basic reproduction number of epidemic models on sparse networks
Physical Review E, 2022The basic reproduction number R_{0} is a standard indicator of infection control in epidemiology. Although R_{0} has been studied extensively for deterministic epidemic models, it has not been formulated accurately for models adopting network structures.
