Table 3. Fraction of the target area that must be actively transformed to produce about 80% (π/4) coverage in T generations.

RI (area) 40 generations 30 generations 20 generations 10 generations
400 m (0.5 km2) 0.09-0.20 0.13-0.26 0.20-0.35 0.35-0.50
560 m (0.99 km2) 0.13-0.27 0.18-0.33 0.27-0.43 0.43-0.57

These calculations assume wave speed c = 10-20 m/generation starting from initial releases in circles of radius RI that produce local infection frequencies p0 near 1.
