Epidemic Percolation Networks, Epidemic Outcomes, and Interventions
Figure 8
Comparison of targeting by contact network degree (lines) and targeting the GSCC (circles) in the network-based models from Section 4.2 with beta(.25, .25) distributions of infectiousness and susceptibility and positive or negative correlations. In both cases, targeting the GSCC is more effective in reducing the probability and attack rate of an epidemic on both Erdős- Rényi and scale-free networks. In the corresponding models with beta(2, 2) distributions of infectiousness and susceptibility, targeting the GSCC and targeting by contact network degree had identical effects (not shown).
