Estimating the basic reproduction number of a pathogen in a single host when only a single founder successfully infects.
If viruses or other pathogens infect a single host, the outcome of infection may depend on the initial basic reproduction number R0, the expected number of host cells infected by a single infected cell. This article shows that sometimes, phylogenetic models can estimate the initial R0, using only se...
