Five challenges for spatial epidemic models

Highlights • Spatial models will become more important as geolocated data become the norm for infectious disease.• Network models can be thought of as a unifying framework within which metapopulation models and individual-based models are contained.• Work is needed on threshold parameters for spatial models, partly because they often do not produce exponential growth.• Accurately predicting the impact of interventions requires models to be constructed with the appropriate resolution.
