...The Reproduction Number does an excellent job at describing the advance of the disease in a population but does not give a direct insight of the causes of contagion (i.e., the contact rate between the different individuals)....

...Although, traditionally, the biggest determinant of the virality of a disease is the Reproduction Number [45,48], which in this case summarizes the impact of the different infectivity rates of the disease, we have chosen to separate these parameters and study them individually....
[...]
...These rates will depend on multiple factors, such as the average number of contacts any individual of the susceptible subpopulation encounters during certain time with individuals of the exposed and infectious subpopulations, respectively, and the probability of transmission of the disease in a contact between a susceptible individual and an infectious or exposed one [45]....
