Abstract

Average number of secondary cases arising from an average primary case in a population over the course of its infectious period is reproductive no. if whole population is susceptible (infection is novel like nCOVID-19) then it is called as basic reproductive no. The herd immunity threshold is the proportion of a population that need to be immune in order for an infectious disease to become stable in that community. To eliminate any disease the effective reproductive no. is to be <1.
