We discuss the impact of these complex features on the behavior of epidemic spreading processes. We first discuss the general results obtained for basic compartmental models (SIR, SIS) and then report on the effect of the heterogeneity of real world transportation networks in meta-population models for the forecast of the large scale spreading of diseases.
