About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models disease transmission dynamics using the R0 (basic reproduction number) concept. Learners adjust infection parameters and observe how diseases spread through populations in real-time, discovering relationships between transmission rates, infection levels, and outbreak patterns across different scenarios.

Learning objectives: Understand how R0 influences epidemic growth and population infection rates | Explore the relationship between transmission probability and disease spread dynamics | Apply mathematical modeling to predict and interpret real-world epidemiological outcomes
