Figure 1a. The development of the basic reproduction number (measure of transmission between herds) R h over time during the bluetongue virus serotype 8 epidemic in 2006 for Germany (D), Belgium (B) and The Netherlands (NL and for the whole area (all). The date given is the start of the infectious period. Figure 1b. Average temperature per twenty-four hours (blue) during summer and fall 2006 (in°C) and the 14 days rolling average (purple) for a smoothened temperature curve. Figure 1c. Basic reproduction number of BTV-8 (between herds) in a sensitivity analysis for various infectious periods. The date given is the start of the infectious period.Figure 1d. Joint view of the temperature (14 days rolling average) and the estimated reproduction ratio assuming a 30 days infectious period.
