Inferring country-specific import risk of diseases from the world air transportation network

Fig 7

Source countries’ prediction quality and WAN outflow.

The correlation between the logarithm of the import risk and the reference import probability improves with the outflow of the respective source country (top). Examples of source countries with particularly low (ER, Eritrea) and high (GB, Great Britain) outflow and log_corr are shown with their import risk and reference import risk to target countries (middle row). Countries with exceptionally low log_corr measures compared to source countries with a comparable outflow are either historically linked to specific regions as Australia (AU) and Israel (IL) to European countries (lower right panel) or politically as Macao (MO) as a special administrative region of China.
