Calculate Basic Reproduction Number (R0)





Formula

The formula to calculate the Basic Reproduction Number (R0) is:

\[ R0 = t \times c \times d \]

Where:

What is R0?

R0 is a symbol used to denote the primary reproductive number of an infection. This value represents the total number of expected secondary cases produced by a single infection in a susceptible population.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Basic Reproduction Number (R0):

\[ R0 = t \times c \times d = 0.5 \times 10 \times 7 = 35 \]

The Basic Reproduction Number (R0) is 35.
