| T14 |
0-19 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Epidemic parameters |
| T15 |
20-82 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Two key properties will determine further spread of 2019-nCoV. |
| T16 |
83-301 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Firstly, the basic reproduction number R0 describes the average number of secondary cases generated by an infectious index case in a fully susceptible population, as was the case during the early phase of the outbreak. |
| T17 |
302-431 |
Sentence |
denotes |
If R0 is above the critical threshold of 1, continuous human-to-human transmission with sustained transmission chains will occur. |
| T18 |
432-616 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Secondly, the individual variation in the number of secondary cases provides further information about the expected outbreak dynamics and the potential for superspreading events [7-9]. |
| T19 |
617-838 |
Sentence |
denotes |
If the dispersion of the number of secondary cases is high, a small number of cases may be responsible for a disproportionate number of secondary cases, while a large number of cases will not transmit the pathogen at all. |
| T20 |
839-1000 |
Sentence |
denotes |
While superspreading always remain a rare event, it can result in a large and explosive transmission event and have a lot of impact on the course of an epidemic. |
| T21 |
1001-1147 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Conversely, low dispersion would lead to a steadier growth of the epidemic, with more homogeneity in the number of secondary cases per index case. |
| T22 |
1148-1200 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This has important implications for control efforts. |
