Table 1.

Effects of network properties and epidemic parameters on outbreak magnitude. The table reports the results of the Canonical Correlation analysis performed on the outcomes of simulations performed on both the set of randomly generated networks, and the set of real-world networks indicating contacts between field voles (n = 10,000 in both cases). I: epidemic duration; II: cumulated fraction of nodes reached by the infection; III–IV: maximum and average fraction of infected nodes per step; V: area under the curve of fraction of infected nodes per step); τ: pathogen's transmission rate; ρ: duration of infection (i.e., survival time of the pathogen in the host); ι: pathogen's immunization effect on hosts over repeated infections.
