Spatially-implicit modelling of disease-behaviour interactions in the context of non-pharmaceutical interventions by Notice Ringa, Chris T. Bauch

“…Pair approximation models have been used to study the spread of infectious diseases in spatially distributed host populations, and to explore disease control strategies such as vaccination and case isolation. Here we introduce a pair approximation model of individual uptake of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for an acute self-limiting infection, where susceptible individuals can learn the NPIs either from other susceptible individuals who are already practicing NPIs ('social learning'), or their uptake of NPIs can be stimulated by being neighbours of an infectious person ('exposure learning'). …”
