In particular, we study the epidemic threshold in the models where the cure rate is proportional to the degree of the node or when it is proportional to the number of its infected neighbors.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/how-to-distribute-antidote-to-control-epidemics/}, number = {MSR-TR-2008-203}, }
