Analysis of a network--based SIR model

This study focuses on analyzing a deterministic SIR model governing the dynamics of the hosts and vectors on an urban network. Our analysis scrutinizes the typical existence–stability of the equilibria as well as the sensitivity of the basic reproductive number. The latter is a groundbreaking finding that has a strong applicative relevance, particularly for addressing the problem of the distribution of job opportunities toward diminishing the disease persistence on the entire network.
