Abstract: In this paper, we model epidemic spreading by considering the mobility of nodes in complex dynamical network based on mean field theory using differential equations. Moreover, a resistance factor which can characterise the impact of individual's difference on the propagation dynamics in complex dynamical network is proposed by considering the influence of total number of connections and the continuous time to remain in contact. The effect of heterogeneity on the evolution process of propagation dynamics is explored by simulation. Extensive simulations are conducted to study the key influence parameters and the influence of them on the spreading dynamics, which are helpful to the understanding of epidemic spreading mechanism and the designing of effective control strategies.
