Optimal allocation of limited vaccine to minimize the effective reproduction number. [PDF]
Math Biosci, 2021 We examine the problem of allocating a limited supply of vaccine for controlling an infectious disease with the goal of minimizing the effective reproduction number Re. We consider an SIR model with two interacting populations and develop an analytical expression that the optimal vaccine allocation must satisfy.

Incorporating testing volume into estimation of effective reproduction number dynamics. [PDF]
J R Stat Soc Ser A Stat Soc, 2023 Abstract Branching process inspired models are widely used to estimate the effective reproduction number—a useful summary statistic describing an infectious disease outbreak—using counts of new cases. Case data is a real-time indicator of changes in the reproduction number, but is challenging to work with because cases fluctuate due to ...

Practical considerations for measuring the effective reproductive number,Rt [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology, 2020 AbstractEstimation of the effective reproductive number,Rt, is important for detecting changes in disease transmission over time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers and public health officials are usingRtto assess the effectiveness of interventions and to inform policy.

The Dynamic Effective Reproductive Number of COVID-19 during the Epidemic in Iran
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2022 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.

The Effective Reproduction Number of Pandemic Influenza [PDF]
Epidemiology, 2010 Timely estimation of the transmissibility of a novel pandemic influenza virus was a public health priority in 2009.We extended methods for prospective estimation of the effective reproduction number (Rt) over time in an emerging epidemic to allow for reporting delays and repeated importations.
