The spread of infectious pathogens in socially structured populations is shaped by variability in host behavior and resource access, which can burden certain individuals with transmission potentials far above the population average. Additionally, infector-infectee pairs in social systems may also have more similar transmission potentials than expected by chance, as risk factors assort among individuals who frequently interact. Epidemic models indicate that transmission heterogeneity can alter… Read more.
