1. Transmission Dynamics: Nodes help in understanding how diseases spread through populations. Identifying key nodes can reveal patterns and pathways of transmission.
2. Targeted Interventions: By pinpointing critical nodes, public health officials can design targeted interventions, such as vaccination campaigns, quarantine measures, or contact tracing, to control or halt the spread of disease.
3. Resource Allocation: Knowing which nodes are most influential allows for the efficient allocation of limited resources, ensuring that efforts are focused where they can have the greatest impact.
