Prevention and control strategy for network infectious disease spreading based on social information diffusion

Abstract:

In the era of social media，epidemic-related information is spreading across various social platforms along with the outbreak of large-scale pandemics. Therefore，assessing the impact of information diffusion on epidemic prevention and control in social networks and further guiding public opinion on the network reasonably have significant practical and economic importance for epidemic prevention and control. In recent years，revealing and understanding the influence of social information diffusion on the spread of epidemics and related prevention and control strategies have become a research hotspot in the field of network science. This article reviews the latest advances in the influence of information diffusion on the prevention and control of infectious disease transmission within single networks，double-layer networks，and higher-order networks，as well as related challenges and potential studies in the future.
