The impact of awareness diffusion on SIR-like epidemics in multiplex networks

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel epidemic model integrating awareness diffusion and epidemic propagation is proposed on the basis of multiplex networks.

• A threshold-based model is used to characterize the diffusion of awareness, and the process of epidemic propagation is described by using SIR model.

• The epidemic threshold is analytically derived through the micro-Markov chain approach.
