Structure 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 کاملPredicting epidemics on directed contact networks.
Contact network epidemiology is an approach to modeling the spread of infectious diseases that explicitly considers patterns of person-to-person contacts within a community. Contacts can be asymmetric, with a person more likely to infect one of their contacts than to become infected by that contact. This is true for some sexually transmitted diseases that are more easily caught by women than me...
متن کاملInteracting Epidemics and Coinfection on Contact Networks
The spread of certain diseases can be promoted, in some cases substantially, by prior infection with another disease. One example is that of HIV, whose immunosuppressant effects significantly increase the chances of infection with other pathogens. Such coinfection processes, when combined with nontrivial structure in the contact networks over which diseases spread, can lead to complex patterns ...
متن کاملContact 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 کاملEffective distances for epidemics spreading on complex networks.
We show that the recently introduced logarithmic metrics used to predict disease arrival times on complex networks are approximations of more general network-based measures derived from random walks theory. Using the daily air-traffic transportation data we perform numerical experiments to compare the infection arrival time with this alternative metric that is obtained by accounting for multipl...
