Understanding the spatio-temporal evolution of epidemics with multiple pathogens requires not only new theoretical models but also careful analysis of their practical consequences.…
Spatial Super-Infection and Co-Infection Dynamics in Networks
Alyssa Yu, Laura P. Schaposnik
Understanding interactions between the spread of multiple pathogens during an epidemic is crucial to assessing the severity of infections in human communities. In this paper, we in…
