Abstract

In this paper, an HBV epidemic model on complex heterogeneous networks is proposed. Theoretical analysis of the HBV spreading dynamics is presented via mean-field approximation. Stabilities of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are studied. The theoretical results reveal that disease propagation is impacted by the heterogeneous connectivity patterns and the underlying network structures.
