One pathogen does not an epidemic make: A review of interacting contagions, diseases, beliefs, and stories

Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Yong-Yeol Ahn, Antoine Allard +15

From pathogens and computer viruses to genes and memes, contagion models have found widespread utility across the natural and social sciences. Despite their success and breadth of…

Reliability of Numerical Solutions in Transient Chaos

Ali Goodarzi, Maryam Rahimi, MohammadJavad Valizadeh +1

In dealing with nonlinear systems, it is common to use numerical solutions. Unlike the careful behavior towards the numerical results in chaotic regions, the validity of numerical…

Effects of measures on phase transitions in two cooperative susceptible-infectious-recovered dynamics

Adib Khazaee, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad

In recent studies, it has been shown that a cooperative interaction in a co-infection spread can lead to a discontinuous transition at a decreased threshold. Here, we investigate e…

Emergence of synergistic and competitive pathogens in a co-evolutionary spreading mode

Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Kai Seegers, Alessio Cardillo +1

Cooperation and competition between pathogens can alter the amount of individuals affected by a co-infection. Nonetheless, the evolution of the pathogens' behavior has been overloo…

Emergence of Hopf bifurcation in an extended SIR dynamic

Arash Roostaei, Hadi Barzegar, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad

In this paper, the SIR dynamics is extended by considering another compartmental which represents hospitalization of the critical cases. So a system of differential equations with…

Social distancing in pedestrian dynamics and its effect on disease spreading

Sina Sajjadi, Alireza Hashemi, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad

Non-pharmaceutical measures such as social distancing, can play an important role to control an epidemic in the absence of vaccinations. In this paper, we study the impact of socia…

Impact of temporal correlations on high risk outbreaks of independent and cooperative SIR dynamics

Sina Sajjadi, Mohammad Reza Ejtehadi, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad

We first propose a quantitative approach to detect high risk outbreaks of independent and coinfective SIR dynamics on three empirical networks: a school, a conference and a hospita…

Interplay between competitive and cooperative interactions in a three-player pathogen system

Francesco Pinotti, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Philipp Hövel +1

In ecological systems heterogeneous interactions between pathogens take place simultaneously. This occurs, for instance, when two pathogens cooperate, while at the same time multip…

Markovian approach to tackle the interaction of simultaneous diseases

David Soriano-Paños, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Sandro Meloni +1

The simultaneous emergence of several abrupt disease outbreaks or the extinction of some serotypes of multi-strain diseases are fingerprints of the interaction between pathogens sp…

Exact solution of generalized cooperative SIR dynamics

Fatemeh Zarei, Saman Moghimi-Araghi, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad

In this paper, we introduce a general framework for co-infection as cooperative SIR dynamics. We first solve analytically CGCG model [1] and then the generalized model in symmetric…

Particle velocity controls phase transitions in contagion dynamics

Jorge P. Rodríguez, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Víctor M. Eguíluz

Interactions often require the proximity between particles. The movement of particles, thus, drives the change of the neighbors which are located in their proximity, leading to a s…
