On the Calculation of R0 Using Submodels

A set of epidemiological models and their basic reproductive numbers are presented. For some models, the expression of the basic reproductive number can be very complex to determine. In this work, we present some techniques to find the expressions of these basic reproductive numbers starting from su...

Description
Summary:A set of epidemiological models and their basic reproductive numbers are presented. For some models, the expression of the basic reproductive number can be very complex to determine. In this work, we present some techniques to find the expressions of these basic reproductive numbers starting from submodels of the original one. Some particular models with their respective R 0 , which can be applied to the study of some important diseases, are also presented.
