Calculation of $R_0$ for age-of-infection models
We consider age-of-infection epidemic models to describe multiple-stage epidemic models, including treatment. We derive an expression for thebasic reproduction number $R_0$ in terms of the distributions of periods of stayin the various compartments. We find that, in the model without treatment,$R_0$...
