Characterizing the dynamics underlying global spread of epidemics

Characterizing the dynamics underlying global spread of epidemics

Understanding global epidemics spread is crucial for preparedness and response. Here the authors introduce an analytical framework to study epidemic spread on air transport networks, and demonstrate its power to estimate key epidemic parameters by application to the recent influenza pandemic and Ebo...
