    Snippet: The network map for the transmission of MERS in South Korea during 2015 is shown in Fig. 7 . The vertices without any shade represent the deceased. It starts from the index case (Gen 0), numbered as 1 in the map, who transmitted MERS to 29 people in the next generation, Gen 1, and so on. Since the sources of infection for Patients 43, 44, 51, 53, 166, 178, 183, 184 and 185 are unknown, we assume that their excess degree of vertex is 0. The source.....

Since the sources of infection for Patients 43, 44, 51, 53, 166, 178, 183, 184 and 185 are unknown, we assume that their excess degree of vertex is 0. The source of infection for Patient 52 is also unknown but the excess degree of vertex is 1 as Patient 52 infected MERS to Patient 119. In Fig. 7 , there are a few super-spreaders, Patients 1, 14, 15, 16 and 76, who contributed to 83% of all active cases.
