Recall of epidemic models without network– definitions

Each individual has <k> contacts (degrees)

Likelihood that the disease will be transmitted from an infected to a healthy individual in a unit time: β

Number of infected individuals: I. Infected ratio i = I/N

Number of susceptible individuals: S Susceptible ratio s = S/N

Real networks are not homogeneous

Real contagions are regional − Individuals can transmit a pathogen only to

those they come into contact with − Epidemics spread along links in a network

Real networks are often scale-free − Nodes have different dgrees

− ⟨k⟩ is not sufficient to characterize the topology

The black death pandemic

Homogeneous mixing model is not realistic!

Comparison between homogeneous mixing and real network


Degree block approximation

Degrees is the only variable that matters in network epidemic model

− Place all nodes that have the same degree into the same block

− No elimination of the compartments based on the state of an individual

− Independent of its degree an individual can be susceptible to the disease (empty circles) or infected (full circles).


Network epidemic – SI model

SI model:

Density of infected neighbors of nodes

with degree k

Average degree of the

block k

Split nodes by their degrees

I am susceptible with k neighbors, and Θk(t)

of my neighbors are infected.

Network epidemic– SI model

An ER random network with <k> = 2

At any time, the fraction of high degree nodes that are infected is higher than the fraction of low degree nodes.

All hubs are infected at any time


Network epidemic – SIS model

SI model:

Density of infected neighbors of nodes

with degree k

Average degree of the

block k

Split nodes by their degrees

I am susceptible with k neighbors, and Θk(t)

of my neighbors are infected.

spreading rate: High λ indicates high spreading likelihood

Threshold λc


Network epidemic– SIS model on random network

Epidemic threshold − 𝜆𝜆𝑐𝑐 = 1

𝑘𝑘 +1

− Exceeds threshold: spread until it reaches an endemic state

− Less than threshold: dies out


Network epidemic– SIS model on scale-free network

Epidemic threshold − 𝜆𝜆𝑐𝑐 = 𝑘𝑘

𝑘𝑘2

− In large networks: 𝜆𝜆𝑐𝑐 → 0, 𝜏𝜏 → 0 − This is bad: even viruses that are hard to

pass from individual to individual can spread successfully!

− Why? Hubs can broadcast a pathogen to a large number of other nodes!

Summary

Network epidemics behave very differently than simple epidemic models

Nodes with higher degree (hubs) are more vulnerable than those with lower degree

In SIS and SIR models, even pathogen with low spreading rate persists iin scale-free networks because of the broadcasting ability of the hubs
