Persistence in epidemic metapopulations: quantifying the rescue effects for measles, mumps, rubella and whooping cough.
Metapopulation rescue effects are thought to be key to the persistence of many acute immunizing infections. Yet the enhancement of persistence through spatial coupling has not been previously quantified. Here we estimate the metapopulation rescue effects for four childhood infections using global WH...
