Transmission Coefficient

The transmission coefficient is needed for host-parasite models. It is represented by β and it is the rate that disease moves from infected individuals to other individuals in the population. It must be between 0 and 1. ^[1]

The transmission coefficient is used in the disease model equation which is dY⁄dt= βXY⁄N-γY. ^[2]
