- In this work we explore the effects of human mobility on the
dispersion of a vector borne disease. We combine an already presented
stochastic model for dengue with a simple representation of the daily
motion of humans on a schematic city of 20x20 blocks with 100
inhabitants in each block. The pattern of motion of the individuals is
described in terms of complex networks in which links connect
different blocks and the link length distribution is in accordance
with recent findings on human mobility. It is shown that human
mobility can turn out to be the main driving force of the disease
dispersal.
