High reproduction number of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in nosocomial outbreaks: mathematical modelling in Saudi Arabia and South Korea	2017-09-25		.txt	text/plain	3137	180	56	title: High reproduction number of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in nosocomial outbreaks: mathematical modelling in Saudi Arabia and South Korea Therefore, the IDEA model was used to evaluate and compare the MERS R 0 values from the outbreaks in both KSA and South Korean hospitals. Since the IDEA model is parameterized using epidemic generation time, incidence case counts were aggregated at serial intervals of six, seven and eight days in the present study [10] . The IDEA model was fitted to the daily KSA and Korea MERS-CoV case data according to the onset date. Figure 3 shows that the IDEA model provided well-fitted curves for the cumulative data regarding South Korean MERS symptom-onset dates for all cases. The present study used the IDEA model to estimate R 0 values from the MERS outbreaks in KSA and South Korea. Best-fit reproduction number (R 0 ) by serial intervals of Middle East respiratory syndrome in South Korea, 2015, using the incidence decay with exponential adjustment model.	./cache/cord-288859-19jwawrm.txt	./txt/cord-288859-19jwawrm.txt
