Spatiotemporal contagion dynamics driven by human mobility in multilayer activity-driven networks

Key Points

• Contagion dynamics are influenced significantly by human mobility patterns within multilayer networks, leading to varied spread rates.
• Key findings show that the interplay between activity levels and network layers affects how contagion spreads spatially over time.
• The analysis employs theoretical models to explore contagion in multilayer activity-driven networks, examining real-world mobility data.
• Understanding these dynamics may help in controlling disease spread during outbreaks, highlighting the importance of human movement.
