Estimation of the Reproductive Number Trend of the Novel Coronavirus ”COVID-19“ in Southern Iran from July to November 2020 [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022 Background: Effective measures to control COVID-19 should be based on an understanding of its epidemiological pattern and the evaluation of its prevalence in the community. This study aimed to examine the reproductive number (R) of COVID-19 and its trend

Estimating the reproduction number of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2014 outbreak in West Africa [PDF]
, 2014 The 2014 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak in West Africa is the largest outbreak of the genus Ebolavirus to date. To better understand the spread of infection in the affected countries, it is crucial to know the number of secondary cases generated by an ...

Global dynamics of a periodic SEIRS model with general incidence rate [PDF]
, 2017 We consider a family of periodic SEIRS epidemic models with a fairly general incidence rate and it is shown the basic reproduction number determines the global dynamics of the models and it is a threshold parameter for persistence.

The epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis: transmission rates estimated from a cohort study in Amazonian Brazil [PDF]
, 1997 We estimate the incidence rate, serological conversion rate and basic case reproduction number (R0) of Leishmania infantum from a cohort study of 126 domestic dogs exposed to natural infection rates over 2 years on Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil.

Super-spreading Events and Contribution to Transmission of MERS, SARS, and COVID-19 [PDF]
, 2020 There is no clear definition for the term ‘super-spreader’ or ‘super-spreading event’. The World Health Organization refers to a super-spreader as a patient (or an event) that may transmit infection to a larger number of individuals than is usual by one ...

Lyapunov Functions for Tuberculosis Models with Fast and Slow Progression [PDF]
, 2006 The spread of tuberculosis is studied through two models which include fast and slow progression to the infected class. For each model, Lyapunov functions are used to show that when the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, the disease ...

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 ...

Towards an understanding of the perpetuation of the agent of tularemia
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011 The epidemiology of tularemia has influenced, perhaps incorrectly skewed, our views on the ecology of the agent of tularemia. In particular, the central role of lagomorphs needs to be reexamined.
