Seasonal transmission potential and activity peaks of the new influenza A(H1N1): a Monte Carlo likelihood analysis based on human mobility
Duygu Balcan, Hao Hu, Bruno Goncalves +9
On 11 June the World Health Organization officially raised the phase of pandemic alert (with regard to the new H1N1 influenza strain) to level 6. We use a global structured metapop…
Global disease spread: statistics and estimation of arrival times
Aurelien Gautreau, Alain Barrat, Marc Barthelemy
We study metapopulation models for the spread of epidemics in which different subpopulations (cities) are connected by fluxes of individuals (travelers). This framework allows to d…
Arrival Time Statistics in Global Disease Spread
Aurelien Gautreau, Alain Barrat, Marc Barthelemy
Metapopulation models describing cities with different populations coupled by the travel of individuals are of great importance in the understanding of disease spread on a large sc…
Epidemic modeling in metapopulation systems with heterogeneous coupling pattern: theory and simulations
Vittoria Colizza, Alessandro Vespignani
The spatial structure of populations is a key element in the understanding of the large scale spreading of epidemics. Motivated by the recent empirical evidence on the heterogeneou…
