High reproduction number of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in nosocomial outbreaks: mathematical modelling in Saudi Arabia and South Korea
S Choi, E Jung, BY Choi, YJ Hur, M Ki - Journal of Hospital Infection, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Effective countermeasures against emerging infectious diseases require an
understanding of transmission rate and basic reproduction number (R 0). R 0 for severe
acute respiratory syndrome is generally considered to be> 1, whereas that for Middle East
respiratory syndrome (MERS) is considered to be< 1. However, this does not explain the
large-scale outbreaks of MERS that occurred in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and South
Korean hospitals. Aim: To estimate R 0 in nosocomial outbreaks of MERS. Methods R 0 was …
