Fig. 3: Urban landscapes and optimal distributions of tests across the mobility network.
From: Human behavior-driven epidemic surveillance in urban landscapes

Panels a and b show the attack rate of an epidemic wave as a function of the basic reproduction number \({{\mathcal{R}}}_{0}\) of the pathogen (color code) and the number L of mobility links used to distribute the ntests = 2 × 105 daily tests in Bogotá (a) and Miami (b). The central maps show the distribution of cases across Bogotá (c) and Miami (e) by plotting the attack rate in each patch after implementing a control strategy that sets ntests tests across the most important mobility links (L = 2.8 × 104 for Bogotá and L = 6 × 103 for Miami). Finally, the maps in the right show how the ntests were distributed according to the destination of the aforementioned most critical links in Bogotá (d) and Miami (f). In all the maps, brighter colors correspond with higher values of the represented quantities.
