In this paper, we study a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model with time delay on complex heterogeneous networks. Here, the delay describes the incubation period in the vector population. We calculate the epidemic threshold by using a Lyapunov functional and some analytical methods, and find that adding delay increases the epidemic threshold. Then, we prove the global stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria by using the theory of functional differential equations. Furthermore, we show numerically that the epidemic threshold of the new model may change along with other factors, such as the infectivity function, the heterogeneity of the network, and the degrees of nodes. Finally, we find numerically that the delay can affect the convergence speed at which the disease reaches equilibria.

We present a time-delayed SIS model on complex networks to study epidemic spreading. We found that the existence of delay will affect, and oftentimes enhance, both outbreak and prevalence of infectious diseases in the networks. For small-world networks, we found that the epidemic threshold and the delay time have a power-law relation. For scale-free networks, we found that for a given transmission rate, the epidemic prevalence has an exponential form, which can be analytically obtained, and it decays as the delay time increases. We confirm all results by sufficient numerical simulations.

Many real networks are embedded in a metric space: the interactions among individuals depend on their spatial distances and usually take place among their nearest neighbors. In this paper, we introduce a modified susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model to study geographical effects on the spread of diseases by assuming that the probability of a healthy individual infected by an infectious one is inversely proportional to the Euclidean distance between them. It is found that geography plays a more important role than hubs in disease spreading: the more geographically constrained the network is, the more highly the epidemic prevails.
