----arg2087: . The ERF and Threshold numbers in the tables correspond to parameters called alpha and beta respectively in the papers cited below in the cases of campylo, rota, noro and crypto. The equations alpha and beta are used in in the papers don't (seem to) match the equations below. At least for campylo the equations are significantly more complicated. For giardia the value in ERF does seem to be used in the paper it's from in the way the exponential equation shows. In the paper it's marked as r, the probability of infection. The equation in the paper uses "mean number per portion" where Dose is in this equation. E.coli is the biggest mystery: I wasn't able to find the numbers in the table above from the paper sited for it at all. --Heta (talk) 10:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

In these equations, Param1 and Param2 are in Threshold and ERF columns, respectively.

  • Beta Poisson approximation: 1-(1+Dose/Param2)^-Param1
  • Exact beta Poisson: 1-exp(-(Param1/(Param1+Param2))*Dose)
  • Exponential: 1-exp(-Param1*Dose)
