The spread of an epidemic process is considered in the context of a spatial SIR stochastic model that includes a parameter $0le ple 1$ that assigns weights $p$ and $1- p$ to global and local infective contacts respectively. The model was previously studied by other authors in different contexts. In this work we characterized the behavior of the system around the threshold for epidemic spreading. We first used a deterministic approximation of the stochastic model and checked the existence of a threshold value of $p$ for exponential epidemic spread. An analytical expression, which defines a function of the quotient $alpha$ between the transmission and recovery rates, is obtained to approximate this threshold. We then performed different analyses based on intensive stochastic simulations and found that this expression is also a good estimate for a similar threshold value of $p$ obtained in the stochastic model. The dynamics of the average number of infected individuals and the average size of outbreaks show a behavior across the threshold that is well described by the deterministic approximation. The distributions of the outbreak sizes at the threshold present common features for all the cases considered corresponding to different values of $alpha>1$. These features are otherwise already known to hold for the standard stochastic SIR model at its threshold, $alpha=1$: (i) the probability of having an outbreak of size $n$ goes asymptotically as $n^{-3/2}$ for an infinite system, (ii) the maximal size of an outbreak scales as $N^{2/3}$ for a finite system of size $N$.
We study a simple realistic model for describing the diffusion of an infectious disease on a population of individuals. The dynamics is governed by a single functional delay differential equation, which, in the case of a large population, can be solv
We study the stochastic susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model with time-dependent forcing using analytic techniques which allow us to disentangle the interaction of stochasticity and external forcing. The model is formulated as a continuous time
Pairwise models are used widely to model epidemic spread on networks. These include the modelling of susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) epidemics on regular networks and extensions to SIS dynamics and contact tracing on more exotic networks exhibitin
We consider an SIR-type (Susceptible $to$ Infected $to$ Recovered) stochastic epidemic process with multiple modes of transmission on a contact network. The network is given by a random graph following a multilayer configuration model where edges in
We propose a simple SIR model in order to investigate the impact of various confinement strategies on a most virulent epidemic. Our approach is motivated by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The main hypothesis is the existence of two populations of sus
