Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Mathematical Biology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00285-019-01345-4
Abstract: A general framework for threshold parameters in population dynamics is developed using the concept of target reproduction numbers. This framework identifies reproduction numbers and other threshold parameters in the literature in terms of their roles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.idm.2017.06.002
Abstract: This primer article focuses on the basic reproduction number, ℛ0 , for infectious diseases, and other reproduction numbers related to ℛ0 that are useful in guiding control strategies. Beginning with a simple population model, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.idm.2021.02.002
Abstract: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) infections almost always caused overt symptoms, so effective case and contact management enabled its effective eradication within months. However, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) usually causes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2219816120
Abstract: Significance The effective reproduction number quantifies the average number of secondary infections caused by an infected individual (within the population of their own resident community, or anywhere else) when the pool of susceptibles, the epidemiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jtm/taac108
Abstract: Estimating the effective reproduction number of Omicron subvariants is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of control measures, and adjusting control measures promptly. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize the evidence from estimates of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.70042
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… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/v14112556
Abstract: New variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with high effective reproduction numbers are continuously being selected by natural selection. To establish effective control measures for new variants, it is crucial to… read more here.
