Schematic presentation of disease progression, used to estimate the factors β_r, β_a and consequently γ; with γ (4.5) to correct under-estimation of the reported number of cases with the acute disease of the second stage (n_ra) resulting from the product of a factor β_a (100/40 = 2.5) to correct for under-ascertainment and a factor β_r (100/55 = 1.8) to correct for under-reporting.
