In general, different countries and communities respond to epidemics in accordance with
their own control plans and protocols. However, owing to global human migration and …

Mathematical modeling of epidemics is fundamental to understand the mechanism of the
disease outbreak and provides helpful indications for effectiveness of interventions for policy …

Intervention strategies are of great significance for controlling large-scale outbreaks of
epidemics. Since the spread of epidemic depends largely on the movement of individuals …

Metapopulation epidemic models describe epidemic dynamics in networks of spatially
distant patches connected via pathways for migration of individuals. In the present study, we …

An emerging disease is one infectious epidemic caused by a newly transmissible pathogen,
which has either appeared for the first time or already existed in human populations, having …

A practical resource allocation strategy is the prerequisite for disease control during a
pandemic affected by various external factors, such as the information about the epidemic …

Hierarchical geographical traffic networks are critical for our understanding of scaling laws in
human trajectories. Here, we investigate the susceptible-infected epidemic process evolving …

Predicting and preparing for the trajectory of disease epidemics relies on a knowledge of
environmental and socioeconomic factors that affect transmission rates on local and global …

Since the 21st century, the global outbreaks of infectious diseases such as SARS in 2003,
H1N1 in 2009, and H7N9 in 2013, have become the critical threat to the public health and a …

Epidemic dynamics in a structured population has been widely investigated in recent years
by utilizing the metapopulation framework with a reaction-diffusion approach. In this paper …
