Pattern transition phenomena in spatial modeling of infectious diseases: Comment on "Pattern transitions in spatial epidemics: Mechanisms and emergent properties" by Gui-Quan Sun et al.
Infectious disease, ever a significant worldwide problem, has been a major force in shaping world history. We saw this in the 2009 H1N1 outbreak and subsequent pandemic, and again in the worldwide spread of SARS in 2003 [1]. More recently, humanity has been put at significant risk on an international scale by the emergence of old or completely new diseases enhanced by the efficiency, speed, and...
متن کاملThe spreading of infectious diseases in modern socio-technical systems Comment on "Pattern transitions in spatial epidemics: Mechanisms and emergent properties" by Gui-Quan Sun et al.
We are all part of di↵erent, often interconnected, socio-technical systems [1]. These provide a set of unprecedented capabilities. The global air transportation network allows to travel between almost any two points on earth within one day. The network of roads and rails consent to reach di↵erent neighbourhoods, regions or even countries in matter of hours. A variety of platforms running over t...
متن کاملSpatial Pattern Switching Enables Cyclic Evolution in Spatial Epidemics
Infectious diseases often spread as spatial epidemic outbreak waves. A number of model studies have shown that such spatial pattern formation can have important consequences for the evolution of pathogens. Here, we show that such spatial patterns can cause cyclic evolutionary dynamics in selection for the length of the infectious period. The necessary reversal in the direction of selection is e...
متن کاملSpatial pattern growth and emergent animat segregation
Spatial agent models can be used to explore self-organising effects such as pattern growth and segregation. We employ our predator-prey model to study these emergent behaviours in systems of up to around one million animat agents. We compare the patterns, structures and emergent properties of our model with the spatial patterns formed in non-intelligence based models that are governed only by s...
متن کاملEpidemics in Multipartite Networks: Emergent Dynamics
Single virus epidemics over complete networks are widely explored in the literature as the fraction of infected nodes is, under appropriate microscopic modeling of the virus infection, a Markov process. With non-complete networks, this macroscopic variable is no longer Markov. In this paper, we study virus diffusion, in particular, multi-virus epidemics, over non-complete stochastic networks. W...
