Sensitivity of the basic reproduction number, R0, to changes in acquisition and clearance rates, one at a time. The horizontal dotted lines highlight the R0 threshold value of 1. The stars display the actual value of R0, that is, the value calculated using model parameters (Table 1). a Sensitivity of R0 to acquisition rates of non-USA300 (b 1n ) and USA300 (b 3n ); b Sensitivity of R0 to clearance rates of non-USA300 (g n1 ) and USA300 (g n3 )
