R0 (reproductive rate)

COVID-19 GBK English to Romanian Medical Medical (general)
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 sentences:
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)

“The basic reproduction number (R0), also called the basic reproduction ratio or rate or the basic reproductive rate, is an epidemiologic metric used to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents.”
“Dietz states that R0 is “the number of secondary cases one case would produce in a completely susceptible population” (19). Fine supplements this definition with the description “average number of secondary cases” (17). Diekmann and colleagues use the description “expected number of secondary cases” and provide additional specificity to the terminology regarding a single case (13).”

număr de reproducere (de bază) R0

Acest "număr" poate fi tradus și ca "rată/valoare/coeficient" de reproducere de bază R0 (R zero), dar până la urmă este un număr. Deci am adoptat varianta de mai sus.
Voi posta ceva referințe în engleză.
Definition from Definiție online:
“Cercetătorii măsoară contagiozitatea unei boli infecțioase determinând numărul său de reproducere de bază sau R0 (eng. R naught). Acest număr arată câte persoane sunt infectate, în medie, de o persoană bolnavă, într-o populație nevaccinată sau care nu are imunitate împotriva unui virus.”
Example sentences:
“În ceea ce privește răspândirea coronavirusului, conf. univ. dr. Sanda Maria Crețoiu arată că această nouă epidemie s-a dublat la fiecare șapte zile, în timp ce numărul de reproducere de bază (R0 – numărul de reproducere de bază al unei infecții ) este de 2,2.” (Site 360medical.ro)
„numeroși experți au calculat în ultimele zile un parametru important pentru epidemii: rata de reproducere de bază, cunoscută și sub numele de “R zero”. Ea reprezintă pur și simplu numărul de oameni contaminați de o persoană infectată.” (Ziarul libertate online)
“Pentru a estima cât de ușor se răspândește un virus, oamenii de știință calculează „numărul de reproducere de bază” sau R0. Acesta prezice numărul de persoane care se pot infecta cu viruși de la o singură persoană. În prezent, R0 pentru SARS-CoV-2, virusul care provoacă boala COVID-19, este estimat la aproximativ 2,2, ceea ce înseamnă că o persoană infectată va infecta la rându-i aproximativ alte 2,2, în medie. Gripa comună are un R0 de 1,3.” (Știri TVR (România))
