What are the key epidemiological factors of Ebola?
Epidemiology plays a critical role in understanding and controlling Ebola outbreaks. Key epidemiological factors include the mode of transmission, the incubation period, the infectious period, and the basic reproduction number (R0). The R0 of Ebola is estimated to be between 1.5 and 2.5, meaning each infected person can infect 1.5 to 2.5 other people in a susceptible population.
