Dose-response relationships for environmentally mediated infectious disease transmission models
Table 4
Attack ratios and basic reproduction numbers by dose–response function.
The attack ratio, or cumulative incidence, is the fraction of at-risk (susceptible) individuals in the population who become infected during the outbreak. The simulations of a Cryptosporidium outbreak are pictured in Fig 2b. Because some transmission model parameters are uncertain, these values are for comparison between functions only and do not necessarily reflect real-world dynamics.
