Sexual network structure as an indicator of epidemic phase.
Ascertaining epidemic phase for a sexually transmitted disease (STD) has depended on secular trend data which often contain significant artefacts. The usefulness of sexual network structure as an indicator of STD epidemic phase is explored in an analysis of community wide genital chlamydia reports, with network analysis of interviewed cases and linked sexual partners, in Colorado Springs, USA, ...
متن کاملPrevention strategies for sexually transmitted infections: importance of sexual network structure and epidemic phase.
This article explores the relationship between sexual network structure and epidemic phase in sexually transmitted disease epidemiology, and discusses how this may be used to inform prevention strategies at the population level. There are relatively few empirical studies of sexual networks, and even fewer that track the evolution of networks over time. Most studies focus on networks in the cont...

Because Korea's economic growth in the second half of the 20th century was unprecedentedly rapid, according to their logic, it is l...

متن کاملNetwork inoculation: Heteroclinics and phase transitions in an epidemic model.
In epidemiological modelling, dynamics on networks, and, in particular, adaptive and heterogeneous networks have recently received much interest. Here, we present a detailed analysis of a previously proposed model that combines heterogeneity in the individuals with adaptive rewiring of the network structure in response to a disease. We show that in this model, qualitative changes in the dynamic...
