Scale‐free dynamics in the movement patterns of jackals
TL;DR: Using conventional radio-tracking techniques employed by field ecologists, evidence for scale-free (fractal) behaviour in the foraging trajectories of a species of African jackal is presented, thus beginning a systematic investigation of foraging strategies in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power laws governing epidemics in isolated populations
C. J. Rhodes,Roy M. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the distribution of epidemic sizes and duration are used to show that regularities in the dynamics of such systems do become apparent and that the observed power-law exponents are well described by a simple lattice-based model which reflects the social interaction between individual hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemic Thresholds and Vaccination in a Lattice Model of Disease Spread
C. J. Rhodes,Roy M. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how a ring of vaccinated susceptibles, of sufficient thickness, can halt the spread of infection across space and relate to the minimum population density for a epidemic to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the critical behaviour of simple epidemics
TL;DR: This study suggests that power–law scaling can emerge in natural systems when they are driven on widely separated time–scales, in accordance with recent analytic renormalization group calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence and Dynamics in Lattice Models of Epidemic Spread
C. J. Rhodes,Roy M. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: Equations which accurately account for the mean-field limit of the model are introduced and the relevance to the epidemiological modelling of measles is discussed.
