Infectious disease time series are often used to estimate a pathogen's basic reproduction number, $R_0$. However, fits of epidemic models to time series conflate pathogen transmissibility with pre-existing population immunity, so only the *effective* reproduction number, $R_{eff}$, can be inferred.
