The network level reproduction number for infectious diseases with both vertical and horizontal transmission.
A wide range of infectious diseases are both vertically and horizontally transmitted. Such diseases are spatially transmitted via multiple species in heterogeneous environments, typically described by complex meta-population models. The reproduction number, R0, is a critical metric predicting whether the disease can invade the meta-population system. This paper presents the reproduction number ...
متن کاملNetwork-level reproduction number and extinction threshold for vector-borne diseases.
The basic reproduction number of deterministic models is an essential quantity to predict whether an epidemic will spread or not. Thresholds for disease extinction contribute crucial knowledge of disease control, elimination, and mitigation of infectious diseases. Relationships between basic reproduction numbers of two deterministic network-based ordinary differential equation vector-host model...
متن کاملOn the Reproduction Number and a Presentation of Results for Infectious Diseases Models
The classical Kermack-McKendrick homogeneous SIR (susceptible, infected and removed) model is well known. Its general solution is a function of the unique parameter (the reproduction number) that is equal to a mean number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual in a completely susceptible population. If the reproduction number is more than one (the threshold value) its valu...
متن کاملVertical and horizontal transmission drive bacterial invasion.
A huge variety of Arthropod species is infected with endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria that manipulate their host's reproduction to invade populations. In addition to vertical transmission from mother to offspring through the egg cytoplasm, it has been demonstrated through phylogenetic analyses and natural transfer experiments that horizontal transmission of Wolbachia (i.e. contagion) can occur ...
متن کاملVertical transmission and reproduction rate: modeling a common strategy for two related diseases
Motivated by (Goyal and Murray in PLoS One 9(10):e110143, 2014) we consider a partially age-structured model simulating the dynamic of two infectious diseases vertically transmitted almost independently with horizontal coinfection and a common age-structured vaccination strategy. We study influence of parameters on existence and uniqueness of solutions and epidemiological equilibria. Impact of ...
