  1. Number are the percentage (N o / N ×100) of observers necessary to achieve a probability of localization of outbreak sources equal to 90%. Such percentage is for the random, high degree, and maxVoI surveillance network topology irrespectively of the outbreak type. The maxVoI algorithm is the one used for all potential surveillance network topologies.
