The basic reproduction number for scrapie [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999
The basic reproduction number R0 provides a quantitative assessment of the ability of an infectious agent to invade a susceptible host population. A mathematical expression for R0 is derived based on a recently developed model for the spread of scrapie through a flock of sheep.

The SARS-CoV-2 Reproduction Number R₀ in Cats

Viruses, 2021
Domestic cats are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and given that they are in close contact with people, assessing the potential risk cats represent for the transmission and maintenance of SARS-CoV-2 is important.

Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19

Journal of Mathematics in Industry, 2021
In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventually dies out.

Reviewing the Reproduction Number R in Covid-19 Models

Philosophy of Medicine, 2022
Most of the epidemiological models of the Covid-19 pandemic contain the reproduction number (R) as a parameter. In this article we focus on some shortcomings regarding its role in driving health policies and political decisions.

Population Numbers and Reproductive Health

Endocrinology, 2021
AbstractA recent study published in The Lancet predicts a remarkable drop in population numbers following a peak that will be reached by 2064. A unique feature of the upcoming population drop is that it will be almost exclusively caused by decreased reproduction, rather than factors that increase rates of mortality.

The discounted reproductive number for epidemiology

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2009
The basic reproductive number, R(0), and the effective reproductive number, R, are commonly used in mathematical epidemiology as summary statistics for the size and controllability of epidemics. However, these commonly used reproductive numbers can be misleading when applied to predict pathogen evolution because they do not incorporate the impact of ...
