Infectious disease dynamics in metapopulations with heterogeneous transmission and recurrent mobility

Wesley Cota, David Soriano-Paños, Alex Arenas +2

Human mobility, contact patterns, and their interplay are key aspects of our social behavior that shape the spread of infectious diseases across different regions. In the light of…

Outbreak diversity in epidemic waves propagating through distinct geographical scales

Guilherme S. Costa, Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira

A central feature of an emerging infectious disease in a pandemic scenario is the spread through geographical scales and the impacts on different locations according to the adopted…

Spectral properties and the accuracy of mean-field approaches for epidemics on correlated networks

Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira, Wesley Cota +2

We present a comparison between stochastic simulations and mean-field theories for the epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on correlated networks…

Quantifying echo chamber effects in information spreading over political communication networks

Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras +1

Echo chambers in online social networks, in which users prefer to interact only with ideologically-aligned peers, are believed to facilitate misinformation spreading and contribute…

Robustness and fragility of the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic models on complex networks

Wesley Cota, Angélica S. Mata, Silvio C. Ferreira

We analyze two alterations of the standard susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) dynamics that preserve the central properties of spontaneous healing and infection capacity of a v…
