Modelling cholera epidemics: the role of waterways, human mobility and sanitation

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Righetto, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

We investigate the role of human mobility as a driver for long-range spreading of cholera infections, which primarily propagate through hydrologically controlled ecological corridors. Our aim is to build a spatially explicit model of a disease epidemic, wh ...
