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…
The big bang of an epidemic
Yazdan Babazadeh, Amin Safaeesirat, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad
In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework that governs the evolution of epidemic dynamics, encompassing both intra-population dynamics and inter-population mobility within…
Recreational Mobility Prior and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Zahra Ghadiri, Afra Mashhadi, Marc Timme +1
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession negatively affected many people's physical, social, and psychological health and has been shown to change population-leve…
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…
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…
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…
Risk of coinfection outbreaks in temporal networks: a case study of a hospital contact network
Jorge P. Rodríguez, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Víctor M. Eguíluz
We study the spreading of cooperative infections in an empirical temporal network of contacts between people, including health care workers and patients, in a hospital. The system…
Fundamental properties of cooperative contagion processes
Li Chen, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Dirk Brockmann
We investigate the effects of cooperativity between contagion processes that spread and persist in a host population. We propose and analyze a dynamical model in which individuals…
Phase Transitions in Cooperative Coinfections: Simulation Results for Networks and Lattices
Peter Grassberger, Li Chen, Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad +1
We study the spreading of two mutually cooperative diseases on different network topologies, and with two microscopic realizations, both of which are stochastic versions of an SIR…
Extracting information from S-curves of language change
Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Martin Gerlach, Jose M. Miotto +1
It is well accepted that adoption of innovations are described by S-curves (slow start, accelerating period, and slow end). In this paper, we analyze how much information on the dy…
