SIR epidemics in dynamic contact networks
Contact patterns in populations fundamentally influence the spread of infectious diseases. Current mathematical methods for epidemiological forecasting on networks largely assume that contacts between individuals are fixed, at least for the duration of an outbreak. In reality, contact patterns may be quite fluid, with individuals frequently making and breaking social or sexual relationships. He...
متن کاملSIR epidemics in monogamous populations with recombination
We study the propagation of an SIR (susceptible–infectious–recovered) disease over an agent population which, at any instant, is fully divided into couples of agents. Couples are occasionally allowed to exchange their members. This process of couple recombination can compensate the instantaneous disconnection of the interaction pattern and thus allow for the propagation of the infection. We stu...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for SIR epidemics in households
Consider the following model (investigated in Ball, Mollison and Scalia-Tomba (1997)) for the spread of an epidemic among a closed nite population partitioned into households. For n = 1; 2; : : :, let mn be the number of households of size n and N = P 1 n=1 nmn be the total number of individuals. The epidemic is initiated by a number of individuals becoming infected at time t = 0. The infectiou...
متن کاملHow to Run a Campaign: Optimal Control of SIS and SIR Information Epidemics
Information spreading in a population can be modeled as an epidemic. Campaigners (e.g. election campaign managers, companies marketing products or movies) are interested in spreading a message by a given deadline, using limited resources. In this paper, we formulate the above situation as an optimal control problem and the solution (using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle) prescribes an optimal re...
متن کاملStochastic SIR epidemics in a population with households and schools
We study the spread of stochastic SIR (Susceptible [Formula: see text] Infectious [Formula: see text] Recovered) epidemics in two types of structured populations, both consisting of schools and households. In each of the types, every individual is part of one school and one household. In the independent partition model, the partitions of the population into schools and households are independen...
