Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

It is shown how one can calculate the basic reproduction ratio R0 for infectious disease models where an arbitrary but finite number of disease states are recognized and where the phenomena of pair formation and separation are taken into account. Several examples are discussed.
