Abstract
Considering the actual behavior of people’s short-term travel, we propose a dynamic small-world community network model with tunable community strength which has constant local links and time varying long-range jumps. Then an epidemic model of susceptible-infected-recovered is established based on the mean-field method to evaluate the inhibitory effects of avoidance and immunization on epidemic spreading. And an approximate formula for the epidemic threshold is obtained by mathematical analysis. The simulation results show that the epidemic threshold decreases with the increase of inner-community motivation rate and inter-community long-range motivation rate, while it increases with the increase of immunization rate or avoidance rate. It indicates that the inhibitory effect on epidemic spreading of immunization works better than that of avoidance.
