Abstract  In this paper, a dynamic epidemic control model on the uncorrelated complex networks is proposed. By means of theoretical analysis, we found that the new model has a similar epidemic threshold as that of the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model on the above networks, but it can reduce the prevalence of the infected individuals remarkably. This result may help us understand epidemic spreading phenomena on real networks and design appropriate strategies to control infections.
