Epidemics in Interconnected Small-World Networks
Networks can be used to describe the interconnections among individuals, which play an important role in the spread of disease. Although the small-world effect has been found to have a significant impact on epidemics in single networks, the small-world effect on epidemics in interconnected networks has rarely been considered. Here, we study the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model of ep...
متن کاملEpidemics in small world networks
For many infectious diseases, a small-world network on an underlying regular lattice is a suitable simplified model for the contact structure of the host population. It is well known that the contact network, described in this setting by a single parameter, the small-world parameter p, plays an important role both in the short term and in the long term dynamics of epidemic spread. We have studi...
متن کاملEpidemics on Small-World Networks
This paper reviews the use of graphs as mathematical descriptions of social networks, and discusses in particular some properties of the commonly used random (Erdős-Rényi), small-world (Watts-Strogatz) and scale-free (power-law) models, with particular focus on the small-world model. The applications of such networks to epidemiology are then briefly outlined with some comments pertaining to the...
متن کاملEpidemics on Interconnected Networks
Populations are seldom completely isolated from their environment. Individuals in a particular geographic or social region may be considered a distinct network due to strong local ties but will also interact with individuals in other networks. We study the susceptible-infected-recovered process on interconnected network systems and find two distinct regimes. In strongly coupled network systems,...
متن کاملEpidemics and percolation in small-world networks.
We study some simple models of disease transmission on small-world networks, in which either the probability of infection by a disease or the probability of its transmission is varied, or both. The resulting models display epidemic behavior when the infection or transmission probability rises above the threshold for site or bond percolation on the network, and we give exact solutions for the po...
