- •
The interplay between the epidemic spreading and the diffusion of awareness is studied in multiplex networks.
- •
Unaware individuals can be informed by aware neighbors in information network and self-awareness induced by the infected neighbors in contact networks.
- •
The effects of awareness diffusion and self-initiated awareness on the epidemic threshold and the density of infection are investigated.
- •
Our findings show that the local or global information based self-awareness can reduce the density of infection but cannot alter the epidemic threshold.
