Contact tracing and epidemics control in social networks.
A generalization of the standard susceptible-infectious-removed stochastic model for epidemics in sparse random networks is introduced which incorporates contact tracing in addition to random screening. We propose a deterministic mean-field description that yields quantitative agreement with stochastic simulations on random graphs. Both the stochastic simulations and the mean-field equations sh...
متن کاملStructure of Social Contact Networks and Their Impact on Epidemics
Traditional epidemiological research has focused on ratebased differential-equation models on completely mixing populations. In this paper, we outline an approach based on a combination of network theory and discrete-event simulations to study epidemics in large urban areas. We survey some of our results published in Nature (2004) and the Proc. ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (2004), ...
متن کاملContact dynamics during keratocyte motility
BACKGROUND Keratocytes are specialised, rapidly moving cells that generate substantial contractile force perpendicular to their direction of locomotion. Potential roles for contractile force in cell motility include cell-body transport, regulation of adhesion, and retraction of the cell's trailing edge. RESULTS To investigate contact dynamics, we used simultaneous confocal fluorescence and in...
متن کاملAttack rates of seasonal epidemics.
We study the attack rate, that is the total fraction of the population infected each year, for a disease with seasonally varying transmission rate. The attack rate is shown to be governed by both the reproductive number, reflecting the transmissibility of the disease, and the birth rate, which provides a source of new susceptibles. For the case of epidemics which have an annual period (like the...
متن کاملVaccination and Complex Social Dynamics
Vaccination and outbreak monitoring are essential tools for preventing and minimizing outbreaks of infectious diseases1–8. Targeted strategies, where the individuals most important for monitoring or preventing outbreaks are selected for intervention, offer a possibility to significantly improve these measures5, 7, 9. Although targeted strategies carry a strong potential, identifying optimal tar...
