报告内容简介:
Classical disease models predict that, if transmission rate between any pair of individuals remain constant, then the disease invasion risk in a population, measured by the basic reproduction number, increases linearly with the population size. However, on a growing random network, we found that the risk may reaches a maximum then decrease to an equilibrium risk while the population increases to an equilibrium. I will show that this is caused by the lack of proper modeling of the dynamics of contacts in classical models. After including the changes of the contact rate caused by births and deaths, classical disease models show the same behaviour in disease invasion risks.
