Endemic infections are always possible on regular networks

چکیده
We study the dependence of the largest component in regular networks on the clustering coefficient, showing that its size changes smoothly without undergoing a phase transition. We explain this behavior via an analytical approach based on the network structure, and provide an exact equation describing the numerical results. Our work indicates that intrinsic structural properties always allow the spread of epidemics on regular networks.

Comparative distribution and possible pathogenicity of paracoli bact rium species in an area highly endemic for enteric infections.
In an area where enteric infections are highly endemic, the etiological agents of the infections are not always clearly evident. For example, the percentage of specimens positive for commonly accepted intestinal pathogens in over 800 stool specimens examined in North Africa from May through September, 1943, fell from 70 per cent during May and June, when gastroenteritis among American troops wa...
متن کاملSpectrum of the Elimination of Loops and Multiple Arrows in Coupled Cell Networks
A uniform lift of a given network is a network with no loops and no multiple arrows that admits the first network as quotient. Given a regular network (in which all cells have the same type and receive the same number of inputs and all arrows have the same type) with loops or multiple arrows, we prove that it is always possible to construct a uniform lift whose adjacency matrix has only two pos...
متن کاملSafety of iron fortification and supplementation in malaria-endemic areas.
This review considers the safety of iron supplementation and fortification for the prevention and correction of iron deficiency in malaria-endemic areas, with a focus on potential means whereby provision of additional iron might heighten the risks of malaria and other infections. Iron deficiency itself may increase the risk of morbidity and mortality from malaria and other infections. The avail...
متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis epidemiology: parameterising and analysing a model of treatment interventions.
BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis, which affects at least 170 million individuals globally, may increase the risk of transmission of HIV and predispose pregnant women to premature rupture of membranes and early labour. OBJECTIVE To more clearly define the epidemiology of trichomoniasis and to develop a mathematical model of disease transmission dynamics in order to explore various treatment st...
متن کاملTemporal prediction of epidemic patterns in community networks
Most previous studies of epidemic dynamics on complex networks suppose that the disease will eventually stabilize at either a disease-free state or an endemic one. In reality, however, some epidemics always exhibit sporadic and recurrent behaviour in one region because of the invasion from an endemic population elsewhere. In this paper we address this issue and study a susceptible-infected-susc...
