Trade-off between local transmission and long-range dispersal drives infectious disease outbreak size in spatially structured populations.

Transmission of infectious diseases between immobile hosts (e.g., plants, farms) is strongly dependent on the spatial distribution of hosts and the distance-dependent probability of transmission. As the interplay between these factors is poorly understood, we use spatial process and transmission mod...
