Title: | The impact of awareness on epidemic spreading in networks | Authors: | Wu, Q Fu, X Small, M Xu, XJ |
Issue Date: | Mar-2012 | Source: | Chaos, Mar. 2012, v. 22, no. 1, 013101, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | We explore the impact of awareness on epidemic spreading through a population represented by a scale-free network. Using a network mean-field approach, a mathematical model for epidemic spreading with awareness reactions is proposed and analyzed. We focus on the role of three forms of awareness including local, global, and contact awareness. By theoretical analysis and simulation, we show that the global awareness cannot decrease the likelihood of an epidemic outbreak while both the local awareness and the contact awareness can. Also, the influence degree of the local awareness on disease dynamics is closely related with the contact awareness. | Keywords: | Complex networks Diseases Epidemics Nonlinear dynamical systems |
