cord-269711-tw5armh8	Ma, Junling	The importance of contact network topology for the success of vaccination strategies	2013-05-21		.txt	text/plain	7036	417	60	Abstract The effects of a number of vaccination strategies on the spread of an SIR type disease are numerically investigated for several common network topologies including random, scale-free, small world, and meta-random networks. These strategies, namely, prioritized, random, follow links and contact tracing, are compared across networks using extensive simulations with disease parameters relevant for viruses such as pandemic influenza H1N1/09. (2006) compared the efficacy of contact tracing on random and scale-free networks and found that for transmission rates greater than a certain threshold, the final epidemic size is smaller on a scale-free network than on a corresponding random network, while they considered the effects of degree correlations in Kiss et al. We investigate numerically whether network topologies affect the effectiveness of vaccination strategies started with a delay after the disease is widespread; for example, a 40 day delay as in the second wave of the 2009 influenza pandemic in British Columbia, Canada (Office of the Provincial Health Officer, 2010).	./cache/cord-269711-tw5armh8.txt	./txt/cord-269711-tw5armh8.txt
