Reproduction numbers for epidemics with hidden cases, re-infections and newborns

2025-06-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Real-time assessments of the reproduction rates are crucial for timely responses to changes in epidemic dynamics. Known effective reproduction numbers R t are based on registered (visible) cases despite that asymptomatic and unregistered patients occur in all epidemics and need to be corrected to take into account the number of hidden cases. Since newborns and re-infections significantly affect...
