Stem Diseases: Efficient Immunization Strategies — •Christian M. Schneider¹, Tamara Mihaljev¹, Shlomo Havlin², and Hans J. Herrmann^1,3 — ¹Computational Physics, IfB, ETH Zurich, Schafmattstrasse 6, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland — ²Minerva Center and Department of Physics, Bar-Ilan University, 52900 Ramat-Gan, Israel — ³Departamento de Fisica, Universidade Federal do Ceara, 60451-970 Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil

The spreading of diseases in social networks is crucial to the potential danger of the disease. We quantitatively analyze the effect of immunization strategies on the susceptibility to diseases. We introduce a novel immunization strategy and find for all studied networks that the spreading of diseases can be significantly suppressed compared to the known immunization strategies. As an example we show the results for the international airport network.
