Information-related changes in contact patterns may trigger oscillations in the endemic prevalence of infectious diseases [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 256(3):473-478 (2009), 2013 It is well known that behavioral changes in contact patterns may significantly affect the spread of an epidemic outbreak.
