}We present an effective immunization strategy for computer networks and populations with broad and, in particular, scale-free degree distributions. The proposed strategy, acquaintance immunization, calls for the immunization of random acquaintances of random nodes (individuals). The strategy requires no knowledge of the node degrees or any other global knowledge, as do targeted immunization strategies. We study analytically the critical threshold for complete immunization. We also study the…

It can be concluded from the research that in hybrid immunization strategy, the influence of targeted immunization is greater than acquaintance immunization, and the image curve of simulation result is closer to that of single targeted immunizations strategy.
Weighted Immunization Strategy on Real Networks

This work introduces an immunization method where the percentage of required vaccinations for immunity are close to the optimal value of a targeted immunization scheme of highest degree nodes, and finds it to be significantly more effective than other efficient strategies on three real social networks and on a scale-free network model.
Two novel immunization strategies for epidemic control in directed scale-free networks with nonlinear infectivity

An immunization strategy which consists of choosing some node randomly and then adopting strengthened acquaintance immunization or improved target immunization according to different circumstances is presented, which is significantly more effective and adaptive.
Comparative Analysis of the Effectiveness of Three Immunization Strategies in Controlling Disease Outbreaks in Realistic Social Networks
- Computer SciencePloS one

The effectiveness of several classical stochastic immunization strategies was evaluated based on realistic contact networks for the first time in this study, and the sensitivity analysis shows ring vaccination could be applied to controlling the epidemics with a wide infectivity spectrum.
Immunization and epidemic dynamics in complex networks

It is still unknown whether there are families of tight knots whose lengths grow faster than linearly with crossing numbers, but the largest power has been reduced to 3/z, and some other physical models of knots as flattened ropes or strips which exhibit similar length versus complexity power laws are surveyed.

抗原变异可使得多种致病微生物易于逃避宿主免疫应答。表达在感染红细胞表面的恶性疟原虫红细胞表面蛋白1（PfPMP1）与感染红细胞、内皮细胞、树突状细胞以及胎盘的单个或多个受体作用，在黏附及免疫逃避中起关键的作用。每个单倍体基因组var基因家族编码约60种成员，通过启动转录不同的var基因变异体为抗原变异提供了分子基础。
