The basic reproductive number (R0) of a disease is described by this equation S=susceptible population β=host transmission rate α=disease induced death rate d=susceptible host death rate ν=recovery rate of infected individual Based on the above equation and what you know about evolution, you would expect diseases to evolve to be [a1] transmissible, [a2] quickly recoverable, and [a3] deadly
