Abstract
A general framework for threshold parameters in population dynamics is developed using the concept of target reproduction numbers. This framework identifies reproduction numbers and other threshold parameters in the literature in terms of their roles in population control. The framework is applied to the analysis of single and multiple control strategies in ecology and epidemiology, and this provides new biological insights.Keywords: Basic reproduction number; Control; Disease model; Lefkovitch matrix; Leslie matrix; Net reproductive value
