Dengue epidemics and human mobility
In this work we explore the effects of human mobility on the dispersion of a vector borne disease. We combine an already presented stochastic model for dengue with a simple representation of the daily motion of humans on a schematic city of 20×20 blocks with 100 inhabitants in each block. The patter...

We combine an already presented stochastic model for dengue with a simple representation of the daily motion of humans on a schematic city of 20×20 blocks with 100 inhabitants in each block. The pattern of motion of the individuals is described in terms of complex networks in which links connect different blocks and the link length distribution is in accordance with recent findings on human mobility. It is shown that human mobility can turn out to be the main driving force of the disease dispersal. © 2011 American Physical Society. 2011 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_15393755_v84_n1_p_Barmak http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_15393755_v84_n1_p_Barmak |
