Interacting Dynamics on Networks, Applications to Epidemiology (idonate)
Final Report Abstract
The project “Interacting Dynamics on Networks, Applications to Epidemiology (idonate)” made a bridge between different disciplines such as physics, network science, epidemiology and ecology. Physics point of view in this project, we learned how coupling spreading dynamics may change the order of phase transitions, how bistability or multistability may emerge and how the underlined topology may play a role in them. Epidemiological point of view, we learned that outbreaks may happen unexpectedly while pathogens cooperate. Also surprisingly competition between pathogens might be a useful survival strategy. This project opens a road toward better understanding, predictions and controlling of epidemics and syndemics by modeling in an ecological framework. Finally it is worth mentioning that even though the focus of the project was on the epidemiological applications, the results can be applied on other economical and social contagious phenomena like marketing strategies. For instance, how competing brands can help each other survive in the market.
