As suggested by Tracy at Lockheed. For simple disease models such as SI, SIR, SEIR models it's easily calculated as beta/recover rate. Other disease models we need to handle on a case-by-case basis.

Actually showing Ro in the disease wizard is actually likely to cause more questions than it answers. if the fraction of the population that is susceptible, s==1. In general R<sub>o</sub>~sβ/(γ + μ) This is actually problematic to show in the wizard as we do not have 's'. We can try to get it from the innoculators/infectors but users will likely create the disease before creating them. This would create more questions than it answers. Instead, I updated the context sensitive help on the Disease Wizard explaining the difference between &beta. and R<sub>o</sub>. To see the new help, get latest and create a new disease. Click the question mark then select the link to Disease Wizard Help. see also: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Compartment_Models and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmental_models_in_epidemiology
