Interplay of epidemic spreading and vaccine uptake under complex social contagion
Alfonso de Miguel-Arribas, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
Modeling human behavior is essential to accurately predict epidemic spread, with behaviors like vaccine hesitancy complicating control efforts. While epidemic spread is often treat…
Multilayer networks describing interactions in urban systems: a digital twin of five cities in Spain
Jorge P. Rodríguez, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
Networks specifying who interacts with whom are crucial for mathematical models of epidemic spreading. In the context of emerging diseases, these networks have the potential to enc…
Understanding the Vegetable Oil Debate and Its Implications for Sustainability through Social Media
Elena Candellone, Alberto Aleta, Henrique Ferraz de Arruda +2
The global production and consumption of vegetable oils have sparked several discussions on sustainable development. This study analyzes over 20 million tweets related to vegetable…
Characterising the role of human behaviour in the effectiveness of contact-tracing applications
Ariadna Fosch, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
Albeit numerous countries relied on contact-tracing (CT) applications as an epidemic control measure against the COVID-19 pandemic, the debate around their effectiveness is still o…
An informational approach to uncover the age group interactions in epidemic spreading from macro analysis
Tiago Martinelli, Alberto Aleta, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1
We investigate the use of transfer entropy (TE) as a proxy to detect the contact patterns of the population in epidemic processes. We first apply the measure to a classical age-str…
Digital cities and the spread of COVID-19: characterizing the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions in five cities in Spain
Jorge P. Rodríguez, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
Mathematical modeling has been fundamental to achieving near real-time accurate forecasts of the spread of COVID-19. Similarly, the design of non-pharmaceutical interventions has p…
The unequal effects of the health-economy tradeoff during the COVID-19 pandemic
Marco Pangallo, Alberto Aleta, R. Maria del Rio Chanona +9
The potential tradeoff between health outcomes and economic impact has been a major challenge in the policy making process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Epidemic-economic models de…
Epidemic spreading in populations of mobile agents with adaptive behavioral response
Paulo Cesar Ventura, Alberto Aleta, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1
Despite the advanced stage of epidemic modeling, there is a major demand for methods to incorporate behavioral responses to the spread of a disease such as social distancing and ad…
On the impact of Masking and Blocking Hypotheses for measuring efficacy of new tuberculosis vaccines
Sergio Arregui, Joaquín Sanz, Dessislava Marinova +2
Over the past 60 years, the Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has been used worldwide to prevent tuberculosis (TB). However, BCG has shown a very variable efficacy…
Spreading of Persistent Infections in Heterogeneous Populations
J. Sanz, L. M. Floria, Y. Moreno
Up to now, the effects of having heterogeneous networks of contacts have been studied mostly for diseases which are not persistent in time, i.e., for diseases where the infectious…
