Simulating devil facial tumour disease outbreaks across empirically derived contact networks

2012-04-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Understanding the nature and characteristics of contact heterogeneities is crucial for predicting the epidemic behaviour of infectious diseases. Nonetheless, few studies include contact heterogeneities when modelling disease outbreaks in wildlife, which differ in their population impact from human diseases. 2. We use empirical estimates of contact heterogeneities and network metrics to simulate outbreaks of...
