The effect of heterogeneity on invasion in spatial epidemics: from theory to experimental evidence in a model system.
Heterogeneity in host populations is an important factor affecting the ability of a pathogen to invade, yet the quantitative investigation of its effects on epidemic spread is still an open problem. In this paper, we test recent theoretical results, which extend the established "percolation par...
