Vector‐borne diseases and the basic reproduction number: a case study of African horse sickness

1 Jan 1996

Abstract excerpt

The basic reproduction number, R0, can be used to determine factors important in the ability of a disease to invade or persist. We show how this number can be derived or estimated for vector-borne diseases with different complicating factors. African horse sickness is a viral disease transmitted mainly by the midge Culicoides imicola. We use this as an example of such a vector-transmitted disease where latent...
