Epidemic Percolation Networks, Epidemic Outcomes, and Interventions
Figure 7
Comparison of targeting by contact network degree (lines) and targeting the GSCC (circles) in the network-based model from Section 4.2 with independent susceptibility and infectiousness. When infectiousness and susceptibility have beta(2, 2) distributions, the two strategies produce nearly identical results. When they have beta(.25, .25) distributions, targeting the GSCC is more effective in reducing both the probability and attack rate of major epidemics on both Erdős-Rényi and scale-free networks.
