We study by analytical methods and large scale simulations a dynamical model for the spreading of epidemics in complex networks. In networks with exponentially bounded connectivity we recover the usual epidemic behavior with a threshold defining a critical point below w... View more

    The leading behavior in the r.h.s. of Eq. (19), on the other hand, depends of the particular value of γ: (i) 0 < γ < 1: In this case, one has
