Understanding host–pathogen dynamics requires realistic consideration of transmission events that, in the case of directly transmitted pathogens, result from contacts between susceptible and infected individuals. The corresponding contact rates are usually heterogeneous due to variation in individual movement patterns and the underlying landscape structure. However, in epidemiological models, the roles that explicit host movements and landscape structure play in shaping contact rates are often overlooked.

移动感染：个人移动决定推动疾病在空间结构化景观中的持久性

了解宿主-病原体动力学需要现实地考虑传播事件，在直接传播病原体的情况下，是由易感人群和感染者之间的接触造成的。由于个体运动模式和底层景观结构的变化，相应的接触率通常是异质的。但是，在流行病学模型中，显式宿主运动和景观结构在影响接触率中所扮演的角色常常被忽略。
