网络流行病疾病控制策略设计中的经济和社会因素

Economic and social factors in designing disease control strategies for epidemics on networks

A. Kleczkowski, B. Dybiec, C. A. Gilligan

摘要:

流行病控制模型的本地,全球和小世界的网络被认为是,只有部分信息的个人和他们的连接状态。有效控制措施的主要目标是以尽可能低的成本阻止这一流行病,包括治疗和追踪疾病传播所需的费用。我们发现,延迟检测的传染性个人和存在的远程链接是最重要的因素决定的成本。然而,长距离联系的细节通常是社会互动中最不为人所知的元素,因为它们的偶然性和潜在的短暂寿命。我们表明,在某些条件下的疾病传播的概率,它是可取的,试图跟踪这些链接。因此,收集一些关于网络结构的额外知识可能有利于确保成功和具有成本效益的控制。

英文摘要:

Models for control of epidemics on local, global and small-world networks are considered, with only partial information accessible about the status of individuals and their connections. The main goal of an effective control measure is to stop the epidemic at a lowest possible cost, including treatment and cost necessary to track the disease spread. We show that delay in detection of infectious individuals and presence of long-range links are the most important factors determining the cost. However, the details of long-range links are usually the least-known element of the social interactions due to their occasional character and potentially short life-span. We show that under some conditions on the probability of disease spread, it is advisable to attempt to track those links. Thus, collecting some additional knowledge about the network structure might be beneficial to ensure a successful and cost-effective control.
