Additional information
<28> This paper combines epidemiology and economics to develop control strategies for disease spreading on a network with Levy long-range jumps, with applications to pathogens spreading by insect vectors. The paper shows that it is possible to achieve the control locally by targeting disease foci, which is an important result for practical applications. The paper is based on novel computer simulations. The simulation of Levy jumps in two dimensions is still a challenge in computing and this paper is the first one to combine it with the economic analysis of control strategies.
