Fine-scale estimation of effective reproduction numbers for dengue surveillance
PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 The effective reproduction numberRtis an epidemiological quantity that provides an instantaneous measure of transmission potential of an infectious disease. While dengue is an increasingly important vector-borne disease, few have usedRtas a measure to inform public health operations and policy for dengue.

Spatially explicit effective reproduction numbers from incidence and mobility data
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Current methods for near real-time estimation of effective reproduction numbers from surveillance data overlook mobility fluxes of infectors and susceptible individuals within a spatially connected network (the metapopulation). Exchanges of infections among different communities may thus be misrepresented unless explicitly measured and ...

Wastewater-Based Estimation of the Effective Reproductive Number of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2021 AbstractBackgroundThe effective reproductive number, Re, is a critical indicator to monitor disease dynamics, inform regional and national policies, and estimate the effectiveness of interventions. It describes the average number of new infections caused by a single infectious person through time.
