Table 4. Average onward transmission (R) values with and without mobility change and change in R due to mobility change inclusion.

Mean (sd) Onward Transmission Mean (sd) Change in Individual Onward Transmission with Movement Changes
Rnorm Rmovement Rabs_change Rrel_change
1° bites at home 2.3 (2.7) 4.3 (4.2) 1.0 (1.1) 39.74% (22.67)
1° bites at other houses 2.2 (2.6) 1.1 (1.2) -1.9 (1.9) -62.28% (9.13)
2° bites at infectious individual’s home 0.3 (0.4) 0.6 (0.7) 0.1 (0.2) 31.86% (35.59)
2° bites elsewhere 5.0 (4.7) 5.2 (4.2) -1.5 (3.2) -17.1% (28.97)
Total 5.4 (5.1) 5.9 (4.8) -1.1 (2.5) -15.14% (29.94)

Rnorm values were calculated using an individual’s healthy movement patterns, while Rmovement values accounted for changes in mobility throughout infectiousness. Changes in R-values due to mobility inclusion were calculated for each individual as a raw number (Rabs_change) and as a percent of Rnorm value (Rrel_change). Overall R-values were listed, as well as R-values based on only primary bites occurring at home or at other houses.
