Q6.5. Two directly transmitted viral diseases have the same basic reproduction number (R0 ), even though their dynamics are different. Which of the following differences between the two diseases could lead to the same basic reproduction number? O One disease has a higher transmission rate and a longer infectious period than the other. O One disease has a lower transmission rate and a longer infectious period than the other. One disease has a lower transmission rate and a shorter infectious period than the other. For one disease, the infectious period is long; for the other, no one recovers.

Q6.3. A disease has been introduced to a population of 1,000 susceptible people. Infected people are contagious for about 3 days, and the overall rate of transmission between susceptible and infected people is 0.0002 (per day). Based on this information, is the disease likely to cause an epidemic? Why or why not? (Hint: Calculate Ro for this disease to answer the question.) Use the dropdowns below to complete your answer. The disease is to cause an epidemic because Ro is |than 1.0. Reset
