Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] of the coronavirus disease 2019 has been estimated to range between 2 and 4. Here, we used an SEIR model that properly accounts for the distribution of the latent period and, based on empirical estimates ...

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 basic reproduction number of COVID-19 across Africa.
PLoS ONE, 2022 The pandemic of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) took the world by surprise. Following the first outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, several models have been developed to study and understand its transmission dynamics ...

EpiMix: A novel method to estimate effective reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Transmission potential of a pathogen, often quantified by the time-varying reproduction number Rt, provides the current pace of infection for a disease and indicates whether an emerging epidemic is under control. In this study, we proposed a novel method,

Global dynamics of a periodic SEIRS model with general incidence rate [PDF]
, 2017 We consider a family of periodic SEIRS epidemic models with a fairly general incidence rate and it is shown the basic reproduction number determines the global dynamics of the models and it is a threshold parameter for persistence.

Super-spreading Events and Contribution to Transmission of MERS, SARS, and COVID-19 [PDF]
, 2020 There is no clear definition for the term ‘super-spreader’ or ‘super-spreading event’. The World Health Organization refers to a super-spreader as a patient (or an event) that may transmit infection to a larger number of individuals than is usual by one ...

Convex Optimization of the Basic Reproduction Number
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2022 The basic reproduction number $R_0$ is a fundamental quantity in epidemiological modeling, reflecting the typical number of secondary infections that arise from a single infected individual. While $R_0$ is widely known to scientists, policymakers, and the general public, it has received comparatively little attention in the controls community.

On the basic reproduction number in semi-Markov switching networks
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 Basic reproduction number $ \mathcal {R}_0 $ in network epidemic dynamics is studied in the case of stochastic regime-switching networks. For generality, the dependence between successive networks is considered to follow a continuous time semi-Markov ...
