Outbreak probabilities (A) and out-component sizes (B) for different infectious periods .

<p>Panel A: Outbreak probability as given by the fraction of primary infections causing at least one secondary infection. The dashed line shows the outbreak probability of the time-aggregated network, i.e. the fraction of nodes with non-vanishing out-degree. Panel B: Average out-components of primary infections, i.e. the <i>number</i> of follow-up infections. The 50% confidence interval is indicated by the shaded area. Only for a significant fraction of the network can be infected. For increasing , both values approach a saturation. For days, approximately every second primary infection will cause follow-up infections which will reach on average of the network. Both numbers are significantly lower than their counterparts in the static network, as indicated by the dashed line. Here approximately of all primary infections cause follow-up infections with a mean size of epidemic of almost of the network.
