Dear Editor,

I am searching for studies pertaining to close proximity airborne disease in urban settings: about influenza for instance, and its horizontal spread through close person-to-person contact, in relation with urban population density.

Are there any theoretical models which can predict the rate of spread of an airborne disease in urban areas?

My goal is to compare findings about word-of-mouth marketing strategies and studies in the epidemiology domain.

Kind regards.
