In this paper, a new susceptible-infected-susceptible model with infective medium is proposed, which describes epidemics (e.g. malaria) transmitted by infective media (e.g. mosquitoes) on various complex networks. The dynamic behaviours of the model on a homogeneous network and a heterogenous...

In this paper, we propose a modified susceptible–infected–susceptible model with an infective medium, which describes epidemics transmitted through an infective medium on complex networks. We examine epidemic thresholds for disease spreading by using this new model and compare it with the...
