RE: THE INCREASING INCIDENCE OF LASSA FEVER IN NIGERIA
Talking about endemicity, at what point (statistically speaking) can one effectively conclude that a disease is endemic to a particular region? Awesome write up by the way except for some typo and markdown errors.
@gentleshaid, thank you reading. The typos has been corrected. Statistically speaking, a disease can be said to be endemic when the basic reproduction number (the ability of transfer the pathogen to at least one susceptible individual within a population ) × the proportion of susceptible individual must be equal to 1.
