The basic reproduction number (or ratio) Râ‚€ 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.

The basic reproduction number (R0) of measles: a systematic review
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2017The basic reproduction number, R nought (R0), is defined as the average number of secondary cases of an infectious disease arising from a typical case in a totally susceptible population, and can be estimated in populations if pre-existing immunity can be accounted for in the calculation.

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 ...

Basic Reproduction Numbers for Reaction-Diffusion Epidemic Models
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2012Summary: The theory of the principal eigenvalue is developed for an elliptic eigenvalue problem associated with a linear parabolic cooperative system with some zero diffusion coefficients. Then the basic reproduction number and its computation formulae are established for reaction-diffusion epidemic models with compartmental structure.

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.

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

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.

Further Notes on the Basic Reproduction Number
2008The 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 ...

Progress on the basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2020Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious diseases caused by a new coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. In the epidemiology of infectious diseases, the basic reproduction number ( R 0) is a central quantitative parameter that can be used to ...
