Public health interventions for epidemics: implications for multiple infection waves

Table 1 Parameter values.

Parameter	Description	Value	Source
尾	Baseline transmission rate of the sensitive infection	variable	听
1/碌_E	Expose period (duration between exposure and start of infectiousness)	1.25 days	[4, 15鈥�18]
1/纬	Duration of infectiousness	4 days	[4, 15, 16, 18, 19]
伪	Rate of developing drug resistance following start of treatment	10^-4 days^-1	[16, 18]
未 _T	Relative transmissibility of the sensitive infection following treatment	0.4	[15, 16, 18, 20]
未 _r	Relative transmissibility of the resistant infection	0.8	[15, 16, 18]
p	Fraction of infectious individuals diagnosed for treatment or isolation	variable	听
q	Fraction of treated infectious individuals without isolation	variable	听
T _c	Capacity for treatment and isolation of infectious individuals	variable	听
R ₀	Basic reproduction number of the sensitive infection	variable	[3, 19, 20]

Baseline values of the parameters used for simulations of the models with sources from published literature. For a given value of R₀, the baseline transmission rate 尾 can be calculated using the expression R₀ = 尾厂₀/纬.
