Controlling nosocomial infection based on structure of hospital social networks [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 254, 655-666 (2008), 2008 Nosocomial infection raises a serious public health problem, as implied by the existence of pathogens characteristic to healthcare and hospital-mediated outbreaks of influenza and SARS. We simulate stochastic SIR dynamics on social networks, which are based on observations in a hospital in Tokyo, to explore effective containment strategies against ...
