Abstract
Motivation is provided for the development of infectious disease models that incorporate the movement of individuals over a range of spatial scales. A general model is formulated for a disease that can be transmitted between different species and multiple patches, and the behavior of the system is investigated in the case in which the spatial component consists of a ring of patches. The influence of various parameters on the spatial and temporal spread of the disease is studied numerically, with particular focus on the role of quarantine in the form of travel restriction.Entities:
