Abstract
The fundamental models of epidemiology describe the progression of an infectious disease through a population using compartmentalized differential equations, but typically do not incorporate population-level heterogeneity in infection susceptibility. Here we combine a generalized analytical framework of contagion with computational models of epidemic dynamics to show that variation strongly influences the rate of infection, while the infection...
