Epidemiological implications of local network structure: three network models are compared: a simple (unweighted, unclustered) network (shown in red), a weighted network accounting for duration of contact (green) and a clustered weighted static network accounting for the full structure around participant (blue). (a) Distributions of the number of secondary cases (R_i) for the four examples in figure 1a. (b) Distribution of secondary cases across the entire sample of participants (R_i). (c) Distribution of expected number of secondary cases per participant (). We have modelled a short-lived, rapidly transmitted infection, with a latent period of 3 days, an infectious period of 3 days (), and a transmission rate, τ, of 0.1 h^{− 1} across a network connection.
