Heterogeneous length of stay of hosts' movements and spatial epidemic spread

C Poletto, M Tizzoni, V Colizza - Scientific reports, 2012 - nature.com

hosts' distribution, mobility and interactions. Spatial models that incorporate hosts' …

The duration of travel impacts the spatial dynamics of infectious diseases

JR Giles, E zu Erbach-Schoenberg… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Humans can impact the spatial transmission dynamics of infectious diseases by introducing
pathogens into susceptible environments. The rate at which this occurs depends in part on …

Natural human mobility patterns and spatial spread of infectious diseases

V Belik, T Geisel, D Brockmann - Physical Review X, 2011 - APS
We investigate a model for spatial epidemics explicitly taking into account bidirectional
movements between base and destination locations on individual mobility networks. We …
