  1. Studies are listed by topic. The state variables express the individual heterogeneity next to health-states (e.g., SIR, SIRV,... etc.). If multiple experiments are described, the maximal time horizon, minimal step size and maximum number of realizations are presented. A “dynamic population” considers next to health state also socio-demographical changes over time, such as aging and household alterations.
