Epidemic Spreading in Complex Networks with Resilient Nodes: Applications to FMD

Epidemic Spreading and Complex Networks

Epidemic spreading in correlated complex networks.

We study a dynamical model of epidemic spreading on complex networks in which there are explicit correlations among the node's connectivities. For the case of Markovian complex networks, showing only correlations between pairs of nodes, we find an epidemic threshold inversely proportional to the largest eigenvalue of the connectivity matrix that gives the average number of links, which from a n...

Cooperative Epidemic Spreading in Complex Networks

Most epidemic spreading models assume memoryless systems and statistically independent infections. Nevertheless, many real-life cases are manifestly time-sensitive and may be strongly correlated. We study the effect of non-Markovian stochastic dynamics on the SIS model, in random and scale-free networks, and propose a novel microscopic description to account for cooperation. Initial exploratory...

Epidemic spreading in complex networks with degree correlations

We review the behavior of epidemic spreading on complex networks in which there are explicit correlations among the degrees of connected vertices.

Epidemic spreading with time delay in complex networks

We present a modified susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on complex networks, small-world and scale-free, to study epidemic spreading with the effect of time delay which is introduced to the infected phase. Considering topologies of the networks, both uniform and degree-dependent delays are studied during the contagion process. It is found that the existence of delay will enhance both...
