Demographic population cycles and โ<sub>0</sub>in discrete-time epidemic models
We use a general autonomous discrete-time infectious disease model to extend the next generation matrix approach for calculating the basic reproduction number, [Formula: see text], to account for populations with locally asymptotically stable period k cycles in the disease-free systems, where [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] and the โฆ
