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

R0가 무엇인가요? R[subscript]0 – “R 노드” 혹은 “R 제로”라고 읽습니다 – 는 한글로는 기초감염재생산수로 불리며 감염병균이 퍼지는 속도를 설명하기 위한 개념입니다. - 하버드 전염병역학센터
Breban 등[35]은 여러 명의 환자가 2차 감염을 시키지 않 고 한 환자가 다수에게 2차 감염을 시킨다는 가정 하에서 prepandemic SARS 기초감염재생산수(basic reproduction number, R0)는 0.8인 반면 MERS-CoV의 R0는 0.69 (95% CI, 0.50-0.92)라고 보고하였으며, 한 환자가 소수에게 2차 감염을 시키고 그러한 환자가 여러 명이 있다는 가정 하에서 는 MERS-CoV의 R0는 0.60 (0.42-0.80)로 보고한 바 있다. - 대한의학협회지
한 명의 메르스(MERS, 중동호흡기증후군) 환자가 몇 명에게 병을 옮길 수 있는지를 나타내는 기초감염재생산수(RO)가 국내에선 기존에 알려졌던 0.6∼0.8명보다 6배 이상 많은 4명인 것으로 잠정 추산됐다. - 헬스경향
