The early growth rate of an infectious process and the final epidemic size are lower in these networks compared with the mass-action model, largely because of the quick depletion of the local environment of susceptible individuals around an infected individual. This social contact network in the colony is therefore highly structured and nonrandom, leading to a pool of individuals that is heterogeneous with respect to its probability of contacting, manifesting, and transmitting an infection, presenting an invading pathogen with the challenge of negotiating this complex landscape (Fig. 2) . It is important to note here that the structure of the social network in the colony is an emergent property that arises from individual behavior, which can be altered by simple pathophysiological mechanisms arising from a disease.	./cache/cord-336308-5ymjmbz2.txt	./txt/cord-336308-5ymjmbz2.txt
