Understanding the Role of International Flight Networks in Disease Spreading: towards Global Spatial Epidemic Prevention Zones and Hierarchical Disease Control Policies

We investigated the association between the nodal properties of the global country network and disease transmission at the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic and delineated the spatial epidemic prevention zones to highlight the country sets with high risks of infections.

本研究探究了新冠疫情（COVID-19）大流行早期阶段，全球国家网络的节点属性与疾病传播之间的关联，并划定空间防疫分区，以凸显感染高风险的国家集合。
