This concept is fundamental to the study of epidemiology and within-host pathogen dynamics. Most importantly,<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub>often serves as a threshold parameter that predicts whether an infection will spread. Related parameters which share this threshold behaviour, however, may or may not give the true value of<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub>. In this paper we give a brief overview of common methods of formulating<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub>and surrogate threshold parameters from deterministic, non-structured models. We also review common means of estimating<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub>from epidemiological data. Finally, we survey the recent use of<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub>in assessing emerging diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza, a number of recent livestock diseases, and vector-borne diseases malaria, dengue and West Nile
