The basic-reproduction number of infectious diseases in spatially structured host populations [PDF]

The spatial structure of a host population has a profound effect on the dynamics of infectious diseases. The basic reproduction number, a central quantity in the study of epidemic dynamics, is affected by host clustering as well as host density. Several

Bacteria–bacteriophage cycles facilitate Cholera outbreak cycles: an indirect Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Bacteria- Phage (iSIRBP) model-based mathematical study

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2022
Cholera is an acute enteric infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Despite a huge body of research, the precise nature of its transmission dynamics has yet to be fully elucidated.

The basic reproduction number of vector-borne plant virus epidemics [PDF]

, 2017
The basic reproduction number R0 is a key parameter in plant disease epidemiology, which largely determines whether or not an epidemic will occur in a plant population.

Estimating epidemic exponential growth rate and basic reproduction number

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020
The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure of the severeness of the epidemic, and is also closely related to the basic reproduction number.

Studies on the basic reproduction number in stochastic epidemic models with random perturbations. [PDF]

Adv Differ Equ, 2021
In this paper, we discuss the basic reproduction number of stochastic epidemic models with random perturbations. We define the basic reproduction number in epidemic models by using the integral of a function or survival function.

On the basic reproduction number in a random environment

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2012
The concept of basic reproduction number R0 in population dynamics is studied in the case of random environments. For simplicity the dependence between successive environments is supposed to follow a Markov chain. R0 is the spectral radius of a next-generation operator.

The basic reproduction number, R_0, in structured populations [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper, we provide a straightforward approach to defining and deriving the key epidemiological quantity, the basic reproduction number, $R_0$, for Markovian epidemics in structured populations.

Basic reproduction number for the Brazilian Spotted Fever

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2018
Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF) is an emerging and lethal disease in South America which basic reproduction number (R0) is unknown. Calculating R0 for this disease is crucial to design control interventions and prevent human deaths. BSF endemic areas are related to the presence of capybaras Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, amplifier hosts of Rickettsia ...
