摘要: Abstract The propagation of model epidemics on a small-world network under the action immunization is studied. Although connectivity in this kind networks rather uniform, vaccination strategy focused best connected individuals yields considerable improvement disease control. exhibits transition from localization to as disorder underlying grows. As consequence, for fixed disorder, threshold level exists above which remains localized.
