The risk for reintroduction of some exotic vector-borne diseases in Europe has become a hot topic, while the reality of others is neglected at the public health policy level.

METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In such models the spreading of the disease strongly depends on the degree distribution of the two classes of nodes.

متن کاملPrototype Early Warning Systems for Vector-Borne Diseases in Europe
Globalization and environmental change, social and demographic determinants and health system capacity are significant drivers of infectious diseases which can also act as epidemic precursors. Thus, monitoring changes in these drivers can help anticipate, or even forecast, an upsurge of infectious diseases. The European Environment and Epidemiology (E3) Network has been built for this purpose a...
