Numerical data from simulations of Markovian SIS dynamics on our example network (File S1).

<p>(a) is a plot of the total number of infected individuals against time in a simulation where the outbreak was initiated on a single infectious individual. (b) is a histogram of the number of infection events in 100 simulations of an outbreak, which were allowed to run up to a maximum of 300 infection events, initiated on the same individual each time. In both cases, the weighted network matrix was multiplied by 0.01 and the recovery rate was set to unity for all individuals.
