The spectral underpinnings of pathogen spread on animal networks

N. M. Fountain-Jones, M. Silk, R. Appaw, R. Hamede, J. Rushmore, K. VanderWaal, M. E. M. Craft, S. Carver, M. Charleston

The paper uses spectral graph theory and machine learning to predict pathogen spread in animal networks and shows spectral features can predict vulnerability to infection.

Animal movement in pastoralist populations and implications for pathogen spread and control

G. P. Omondi, V. Obanda, K. VanderWaal, J. Deen, D. A. Travis

This study analyzes animal movement networks in a Kenyan pastoralist community to assess disease control strategies, finding that targeted node removal is more effective than random removal in disrupting transmission pathways.
