The basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2: a scoping review of available evidence
Background: The transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 determines both the ability of the virus to invade a population and the strength of intervention that would be required to contain or eliminate the spread of infection.

The Dynamic Effective Reproductive Number of COVID-19 during the Epidemic in Iran
Background: We aimed to determine the generation time, the best model for estimating reproduction number (R), and to estimate the basic reproduction number (R0) and effective reproduction number (Rt) for COVID-19 in Iran.
