We specifically investigate the previously proposed empirical parameterization of heterogeneous mixing in which the bilinear incidence rate SI is replaced by a nonlinear term kS p I q , for the case of stochastic SIRS dynamics on different contact networks, from a regular lattice to a random structure via small-world configurations. We also demonstrate the existence of a complex dynamical behavior in the stochastic system within the narrow small-world region, consisting of persistent cycles with enhanced amplitude and a well-defined period that are not predicted by the equivalent homogeneous mean-field model. ./cache/cord-333088-ygdau2px.txt ./txt/cord-333088-ygdau2px.txt
