The basic reproduction number for scrapie.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 May 1999

Matthews L, Woolhouse M E, Hunter N

Abstract excerpt

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 model incorpor...
