Spatial epidemiology of networked metapopulation: An overview
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 …

Spreading processes in multiplex metapopulations containing different mobility networks
We propose a theoretical framework for the study of spreading processes in structured
metapopulations, with heterogeneous agents, subjected to different recurrent mobility …

Extinction thresholds in deterministic and stochastic epidemic models
LJS Allen, GE Lahodny Jr - Journal of biological dynamics, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
The basic reproduction number, ℛ0, one of the most well-known thresholds in deterministic
epidemic theory, predicts a disease outbreak if ℛ0> 1. In stochastic epidemic theory, there …
