Modeling disease transmission in interconnected populations using stochastic dynamics reveals key mobility effects.

This research aims to analyze the impact of population movement on disease transmission within interconnected populations.
Studied disease transmission using a continuous-time Markov chain stochastic model.
Compared the Markov chain with three simplified approximations to evaluate computational complexity.
Explored the effects of movement on disease persistence, particularly in source-sink scenarios.
Identified stochastic effects that can lead to extinction events not present in deterministic models.
Numerical simulations demonstrated the intricate relationship between mobility and epidemic spread.

Calvo et al. (2026) studied this question.
