ubiquitous in natural, technological and social systems. They offer a fertile
framework for understanding and controlling the diffusion of ideas, rumors, and
infectious diseases of plants, animals, and humans. Despite recent advances, many
challenging scientific questions remain about the correct tools and their
practical role in epidemics dynamics and effective strategies supporting public
health decision making. The goal of this special issue is to offer a platform
to the interdisciplinary community of scientists working on the diffusion
process on networks and its plethora of applications. We hope for a broad range
of topics to be covered, across theory, methodology, and application to empirical
data with a special emphasis on epidemic spreading. </span></p>
