A monotonic relationship between the variability of the infectious period and final size in pairwise epidemic modelling

Abstract For a recently derived pairwise model of network epidemics with non-Markovian recovery, we prove that under some mild technical conditions on the distribution of the infectious periods, smaller variance in the recovery time leads to higher reproduction number, and consequently to a larger e...
