10 RESEARCH oN THE TRANSMISSIoN of DISEASE IN AIRPoRTS AND oN AIRCRAfT only 40 to 50 days, too short to have a significant practical benefit. only if almost all travel from affected cities could be stopped almost as soon as influenza arrived was the intervention able to achieve delays likely to have a significant practical benefit in managing the pandemic.

Recently, the metapopulation modeling framework has been extended again to account for "multiscale mobility networks," accounting for both long-distance air travel links and shorter-distance commuting flows, which are an order of magnitude larger (20)
