The Basic Reproductive Number for Disease Systems with Multiple Coupled Heterogeneities

2017-11-16

Abstract excerpt

In mathematical epidemiology, a well-known formula describes the impact of heterogeneity on the basic reproductive number, R 0 , for situations in which transmission is separable and for which there is one source of variation in susceptibility and one source of variation in infectiousness. This formula is written in terms of the magnitudes of the heterogeneities, as quantified by their coefficients of variation,...
