Mathematical models offer crucial insights into the transmission dynamics and control of
infectious diseases. These models have also been applied to investigate a variety of …

We argue that the spread of unhealthy behaviour shows marked similarities with infectious
diseases. It is therefore interesting and challenging to use infectious disease methodologies …

We present a model of contagion that unifies and generalizes existing models of the spread
of social influences and microorganismal infections. Our model incorporates individual …

We study the propagation of a disease in a population where agents are characterized by
their awareness level, representing the measures they take to avoid the infection. We …

We propose and analyze a family of epidemiological models that extend the classic
Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered/Removed (SIR)-like framework to account for dynamic …

We propose a dynamical model for describing the spread of epidemics. This model is an
extension of the SIQR (susceptible-infected-quarantined-recovered) and SIRP (susceptible …

We study the impact of contact heterogeneity on epidemic dynamics. A system characterized
by multiple susceptible populations is considered. The description of the spread of an …

Mathematical models are increasingly being adapted to model criminal behaviour and may
be used to support traditional crime prevention methods. This review focuses on recent …

Why do some pathogens fail to spread effectively in a host community, while others increase
in prevalence before eventual elimination? Why do some pathogens oscillate in frequency …

Over the past decade, the use of networks has led to a new modelling paradigm combining
several branches of science, including physics, mathematics, biology and social sciences …
