Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the Reproduction Number of Ebola Virus (EBOV) During the 2014 Outbreak in West Africa
TL;DR: The EBOV epidemic is described using an SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered) model and the model indicates that in Guinea and Sierra Leone the effective reproduction number might have dropped to around unity by the end of May and July 2014, respectively, but in Liberia, the model estimates no decline in theeffective reproduction number by end-August 2014.
