    Snippet: The basic reproduction number, or R0, is the average number of secondary infections arising from a typical single infection in a completely susceptible population, and can be estimated as the dominant eigenvalue of the next generation matrix 17 . The exact form of the next generation matrix is model dependent. For respiratory infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 (the pathogen causing COVID-19), this is usually a function of the age-specific number of d.....
    Document: The basic reproduction number, or R0, is the average number of secondary infections arising from a typical single infection in a completely susceptible population, and can be estimated as the dominant eigenvalue of the next generation matrix 17 . The exact form of the next generation matrix is model dependent. For respiratory infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 (the pathogen causing COVID-19), this is usually a function of the age-specific number of daily contacts, the probability that a single contact leads to transmission, and the total duration of infectiousness.
