Understanding how diseases spread is crucial for effective public health planning, and the basic reproduction number ( R 0 $$ {R}_0 $$ ) plays a key role in this process. This study considers the application of a next-generation matrix (NGM) to compute the basic reproduction number of different compartmental models: SIR, SEIR, SEITR, SV F V p EIR $$ {SV}_F{V}_p\ EIR $$ , and SV F V p EITR $$ {SV}_F{V}_p\ EITR $$ , depicting the initial state of the diphtheria outbreak and intervention strategies.
