    Snippet: where λ is the contact rate. The mean number of effective contacts is an approximation of the 54 reproduction number. The two quantities are identical in an infinite and homogeneous population, 55 where the probability of making two effective contacts with the same person is zero. For the 56 considered population size, the probability of this event is extremely low. Therefore, throughout 57 the manuscript, we approximate the reproduction number .....

The two quantities are identical in an infinite and homogeneous population, 55 where the probability of making two effective contacts with the same person is zero. For the 56 considered population size, the probability of this event is extremely low. Therefore, throughout 57 the manuscript, we approximate the reproduction number with the mean number of secondary 58 cases.
