Natural Human Mobility Patterns and Spatial Spread of Infectious Diseases

We investigate a model for spatial epidemics explicitly taking into account bidirectional movements between base and destination locations on individual mobility networks. We provide a systematic analysis of generic dynamical features of the model on regular and complex metapopulation network topolo...
