Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice in the design and evaluation of control measures in disease ecology and epidemiology, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indices of long‐term disease transmission, both in naïve populations (basic RN) and in the presence of prior exposure or infection containment ...
