Global Dynamics of Infectious Disease with Arbitrary Distributed Infectious Period on Complex Networks

Most of the current epidemic models assume that the infectious period follows an exponential distribution. However, due to individual heterogeneity and epidemic diversity, these models fail to describe the distribution of infectious periods precisely. We establish a SIS epidemic model with multistag...
