Modelling behavioural interactions in infection disclosure during an outbreak: An evolutionary game theory approach.

Math Biosci Eng

June 2025

Disease Modelling Lab, Department of Mathematics, School of Natural Sciences, Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, Gautam Buddh Nagar 201314, India.

In confronting the critical challenge of disease outbreak management, health authorities consistently encourage individuals to voluntarily disclose a potential exposure to infection and adhere to self-quarantine protocols by assuring medical care (hospital beds, oxygen, and constant health monitoring) and helplines for severe patients. These have been observed during pandemics; for example, COVID-19 phases in many middle-income countries, such as India, promoted quarantine and reduced stigma. Here, we present a game-theoretic model to elucidate the behavioural interactions in infection disclosure during an outbreak.
