The discounted reproductive number for epidemiology by Timothy C. Reluga, Jan Medlock, Alison Galvani

“…The basic reproductive number, $\Ro$, and the effective reproductivenumber, $R$, are commonly used in mathematicalepidemiology as summary statistics for the size andcontrollability of epidemics.However, these commonly usedreproductive numbers can be misleading when appliedto predict pathogen evolution because they do notincorporate the impact of the timing of events in the life-historycycle of the pathogen.To study evolution problems where the host population size ischanging, measures like the ultimate proliferation rate must be used.A third measure of reproductive success, which combines properties ofboth the basic reproductive number and the ultimate proliferationrate, is the discounted reproductive number$\mathcal{R}_d$. …”
