    Snippet: If the detection of a case does not affect detection of other cases from the same cluster (surveillance scenario 1), we find that R can be simply estimated as R = 12G, where G is the proportion of detected cases that are infected by the reservoir. This is a general result that is independent of the case detection rate r and the overdispersion parameter k and that does not require data on clusters. It is valid as long as outbreaks are subcritical .....
