Under the simple SIR model, R0 is approximated using the formula R0=1+r⋅Ts, where r is the growth rate and Ts is the serial interval. This approximation assumes exponentially distributed generation times.
Conditions: Stated as an approximation under the simple SIR model.; The on-screen note says it assumes exponentially distributed generation times.

The basic reproduction number, denoted R0, is defined as the average number of new infections caused by a single case in a population where everyone is susceptible. It serves as an early-outbreak measure of transmission potential.
Conditions: Applies to a population where everyone is susceptible.; Used here as an early-outbreak measure.
