English term or phrase: R0 (reproductive rate)
Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
An epidemiologic metric used to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents, which is usually estimated with complex mathematical models developed using various sets of assumptions. It is an estimate of the average number of new cases of a disease that each case generates, at a given point in time. R0 estimates for the virus that causes COVID-19 are around 2 to 3, which is slightly higher than that for seasonal influenza (R0 ~1.2-1.3), but far lower than more contagious diseases such as measles (R0 ~12 - 18).

Example sentence(s):
  • The R0 is not an intrinsic feature of the virus. It can be lowered through containment, mitigation and ultimately “herd immunity,” as people who have recovered become less susceptible to infections or serious illnesses. For the epidemic to begin to end, the reproduction rate has to drop below 1. The Washington Post
  • This chart shows two curves with two very different virus reproduction rates. In the steepest curve, the virus reproduces quickly in a short period of time. In this scenario, emergency rooms, intensive care units and other parts of the health care system are overwhelmed. In an overwhelmed system, mortality rates can be high and those infected may not get the treatment they need. World Economic Forum
  • When the team modeled a scenario in which contacts were notified the instant a person tested positive, it was possible to push the reproductive rate of the virus below that threshold, the team reported in a preprint this week. Science

Raporti bazë i riprodhimit


Definition from Panorama.al:
Në Kinë, Kore të Jugut dhe Itali, në fazat e pakontrolluara të fillimit të epidemisë, pra gjatë ecurisë natyrore, koeficienti R0 (raporti bazë i riprodhimit) ishte 2.3, që do të thotë se një person i infektuar me COVID-19 do të infektojë mesatarisht edhe 2.3 persona të tjerë.

Example sentence(s):
  • R0 është numri bazë i riprodhimit është në zemër të strategjisë së qeverive, në kohën e koronavirusit, dhe në epidemiologji, numri bazë i një infeksioni mund të mendohet si numri i pritshëm i rasteve të krijuara direkt nga një rast në një popullatë ku të gjithë individët janë të ekspozuar ndaj infeksionit. Me fjalë të tjera, R0 është numri i rasteve që kanë marrë virusin nga një person. - Dritare.net  
  • Në epidemiologjinë e sëmundjeve infektive përdoret koeficienti R0, i cili është një term matematikor që tregon se sa ngjitëse është sëmundja. R0 njihet edhe si “numri i riprodhimit” dhe tregon sa persona infektohen mesatarisht nga një person i sëmurë. Në fillimin e epidemisë, ky koeficient në qytetet e Shqipërisë është përllogaritur të ketë qenë 3.9, ngjashmërisht si në shtetet e tjera europiane dhe SHBA. Nëse llogaritet në nivel popullate totale, pra duke marrë parasysh edhe zonat rurale me dendësi shumë të ulët popullate, atëherë ky koeficient bie deri në vlerën kombëtare 2.3-3.0 në fillimin e epidemisë, por rastet në fakt janë gjetur vazhdimisht pothuajse vetëm në zonat urbane. Aktualisht, koeficienti R0 në Shqipëri është pothuajse 1.0, që do të thotë se çdo ditë ne kemi pak a shumë të njëjtat raste në komunitet. - epokaere.com
