On the definition and utilization of heritable variation among hosts in reproduction ratio R0 for infectious diseases.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2014

Anche M T, de Jong M C M, Bijma P

Abstract excerpt

Infectious diseases have a major role in evolution by natural selection and pose a worldwide concern in livestock. Understanding quantitative genetics of infectious diseases, therefore, is essential both for understanding the consequences of natural selection and for designing artificial selection schemes in agriculture. The basic reproduction ratio, R0, is the key parameter determining risk and severity of...
