    Snippet: The basic reproductive ratio is important since a disease outbreak is classified as a minor outbreak or a major outbreak depending on this number. A minor outbreak ultimately extinguishes itself with the probability of 1 when R 1, while a major outbreak defines itself by the boundless spread of the disease with a positive probability when R > 1.

A minor outbreak ultimately extinguishes itself with the probability of 1 when R 1, while a major outbreak defines itself by the boundless spread of the disease with a positive probability when R > 1.
