An Introduction to The Basic Reproduction Number in Mathematical Epidemiology★
This article introduces the notion of basic reproduction number R0 in mathematical epi-demiology. After an historic reminder describing the steps leading to the statement of its mathematical definition, we explain the next-generation matrix method allowing its calculation in the case of epidemic mode...
