    Snippet: Methods exist to estimate R 0 from the progress of a disease outbreak, which do rely on knowledge about the transmission characteristics of the infectious agent gathered from previous outbreaks [24] [25] [26] [27] . As this study aims to demonstrate a method based on temperature readings only caused by any infection this information is not available which is similar to the situation during an unidentified outbreak.

    Document: Methods exist to estimate R 0 from the progress of a disease outbreak, which do rely on knowledge about the transmission characteristics of the infectious agent gathered from previous outbreaks [24] [25] [26] [27] .
