Modeling infection transmission in primate networks to predict centrality‐based risk
Social structure can theoretically regulate disease risk by mediating exposure to pathogens
via social proximity and contact. Investigating the role of central individuals within a network …

Community structure and the spread of infectious disease in primate social networks
RH Griffin, CL Nunn - Evolutionary Ecology, 2012 - Springer
Living in a large social group is thought to increase disease risk in wild animal populations,
but comparative studies have provided mixed support for this prediction. Here, we take a …

The Risk of Disease to Great Apes: Simulating Disease Spread in Orang-Utan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) and Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) …
C Carne, S Semple, H Morrogh-Bernard… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
All great ape species are endangered, and infectious diseases are thought to pose a
particular threat to their survival. As great ape species vary substantially in social …

Infection-induced behavioural changes reduce connectivity and the potential for disease spread in wild mice contact networks
Infection may modify the behaviour of the host and of its conspecifics in a group, potentially
altering social connectivity. Because many infectious diseases are transmitted through …

Centrality in primate–parasite networks reveals the potential for the transmission of emerging infectious diseases to humans
JM Gómez, CL Nunn, M Verdú - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Most emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in humans have arisen from animals. Identifying
high-risk hosts is therefore vital for the control and surveillance of these diseases. Viewing …

Making new connections: insights from primate–parasite networks
Social interactions are important in everyday life for primates and many other group-living
animals; however, these essential exchanges also provide opportunities for parasites to …

Social network analysis of wild chimpanzees provides insights for predicting infectious disease risk
Heterogeneity in host association patterns can alter pathogen transmission and strategies
for control. Great apes are highly social and endangered animals that have experienced …

Pathogens, social networks, and the paradox of transmission scaling
Understanding the scaling of transmission is critical to predicting how infectious diseases
will affect populations of different sizes and densities. The two classic “mean‐field” epidemic …

Beyond network structure: How heterogeneous susceptibility modulates the spread of epidemics
The compartmental models used to study epidemic spreading often assume the same
susceptibility for all individuals and are therefore, agnostic about the effects that differences …

Social organization patterns can lower disease risk without associated disease avoidance or immunity
K Hock, NH Fefferman - Ecological Complexity, 2012 - Elsevier
Increasing levels of social contact are often linked with increased risks of horizontal disease
transmission. However, it is not immediately apparent whether particular social organization …
