Figure 3.

Effectiveness of the epidemic outbreak as a function of the contagion parameters for the five collective states identified in Fig. 1: Disordered (D), ordered with bands (OB), ordered with clusters (OC), and two ordered homogeneous states (OH-1 and OH-2). Each panel presents the fraction of agents that were infected and later recovered during the epidemic outbreak ${\rho }_R(\infty )$ as a function of either the infection-lifetime transmissibility $\mathrm{\Theta }={\beta }_b/\gamma$ with fixed ${\mathrm{T}}_{\inf }=20$ (a) or of the mean agent infection duration ${\mathrm{T}}_{\inf }=1/\gamma$ with fixed $\mathrm{\Theta }=2$ (b). Each point shows the mean ${\rho }_R(\infty )$ value for 50 simulations and the error bars, its standard deviation.
