Heterogeneity can markedly increase final outbreak size in the SIR model of epidemics

We study the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model of epidemics on positively correlated heterogeneous networks with population variability, and explore the dependence of the final outbreak size on the network heterogeneity strength and basic reproduction number R_{0}—the ratio between the infe...
