Social encounter networks: collective properties and disease transmission
A fundamental challenge of modern infectious disease epidemiology is to quantify the networks of social and physical contacts through which transmission can occur. Understanding the collective properties of these interactions is critical for both accurate prediction of the spread of infection and determining optimal control measures. However, even the basic properties of such networks are poorl...
متن کاملSocial encounter networks: characterizing Great Britain
A major goal of infectious disease epidemiology is to understand and predict the spread of infections within human populations, with the intention of better informing decisions regarding control and intervention. However, the development of fully mechanistic models of transmission requires a quantitative understanding of social interactions and collective properties of social networks. We perfo...
متن کاملRaccoon Social Networks and the Potential for Disease Transmission
Raccoons are an important vector of rabies and other pathogens. The degree to which these pathogens can spread through a raccoon population should be closely linked to association rates between individual raccoons. Most studies of raccoon sociality have found patterns consistent with low levels of social connectivity within populations, thus the likelihood of direct pathogen transmission betwee...
متن کاملCollective Action Games Embedded in Social Networks
The paper presents a model that synthetically incorporates several paradigms of collective action theories to bring up conditions when different types of collective action games would occur. Different from past literatures, the paper focuses on the analysis when various types of actors are allowed to play games interactively. The designation of game-playing partners follows the three mechanisms...
متن کاملCollective Phenomena in Complex Social Networks
The problem of social consensus is approached from the perspective of nonlinear dynamics of interacting agents in a complex network. Some basic concepts, such as dynamical metastability, are discussed in the framework of the prototype voter model. In the context of Axelrod’s model for the dissemination of culture we describe a co-evolutionary dynamics formulation with recent results on group fo...
