    Snippet: The reproduction ratio R, which is the expected average number of secondary infections caused by a typical infectious individual during its entire infectious period [24] , is a measure to quantify the transmission and spread of viruses in populations. When infection occurs in an entirely susceptible population, the reproduction ratio is named "basic" reproduction ratio or R 0 [24] .

    Document: The reproduction ratio R, which is the expected average number of secondary infections caused by a typical infectious individual during its entire infectious period [24] , is a measure to quantify the transmission and spread of viruses in populations. When infection occurs in an entirely susceptible population, the reproduction ratio is named "basic" reproduction ratio or R 0 [24] . When R is greater than 1, an infection can spread in a population but if R is less than 1, the infection will die out within a population. R estimates can be used to assess the effect of vaccination or other control strategies in populations.
