Journal ArticleDOI
On the definition and the computation of the basic reproduction ratio R0 in models for infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations
TL;DR: It is shown that in certain special cases one can easily compute or estimate the expected number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual during its entire period of infectiousness in a completely susceptible population.

Mathematical Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases: Model Building, Analysis and Interpretation
Odo Diekmann,J.A.P. Heesterbeek +1 more
TL;DR: The Basic Reproduction Ratio (RBR) as mentioned in this paper is a variant of the Kermack-McKendrick ODE model, and it has been used to model population dynamics at the Demographic Time Scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
The construction of next-generation matrices for compartmental epidemic models.
TL;DR: An elementary but complete proof that ℛ0 defined as the dominant eigenvalue of the NGM for compartmental systems and the Malthusian parameter r, the real-time exponential growth rate in the early phase of an outbreak, are connected by the properties.
