Abstract

Space adds an additional axis to the richness of infectious disease dynamics. For example, Gog et al. (2014) detailed the diffusive nature of the spread of influenza A/H1N1pdv and Lau et al. (2017) characterized the geographic spread of the West African 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak. Walsh et al. (2005) calculated that Ebola was spreading through gorilla and chimpanzee populations at 50 km/year. Moreover, Grenfell and Harwood (1997) and Keeling et al. (2004) outlined how spatial spread may permit long-term persistence through metapopulation dynamics.
This chapter uses the following R packages: ncf, animation and plotly.
