Revisiting the basic reproductive number for malaria and its implications for malaria control.
PLoS Biology, 2007 The prospects for the success of malaria control depend, in part, on the basic reproductive number for malaria, R0. Here, we estimate R0 in a novel way for 121 African populations, and thereby increase the number of R0 estimates for malaria by an order ...

The basic reproduction number as a predictor for epidemic outbreaks in temporal networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The basic reproduction number R0--the number of individuals directly infected by an infectious person in an otherwise susceptible population--is arguably the most widely used estimator of how severe an epidemic outbreak can be.

Dynamics of a Market Share Model for Enterprises with Coopetition Strategy
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2013 A deterministic model is used to study the change of the market share with coopetition strategy for enterprises. The model takes into consideration both coopetition enterprises and other enterprises, and the coopetition threshold R0 is identified and ...

Estimation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for the novel coronavirus disease in Sri Lanka
Virology Journal, 2020 Background The basic reproduction number (R0) is the number of cases directly caused by an infected individual throughout his infectious period. R0 is used to determine the ability of a disease to spread within a given population. The reproduction number
