In this task, you are given a sentence from the research paper and your task is to classify the given sentence into the following categories: Background (Why is this problem important? What relevant works have been created before? What is still missing in the previous works? What are the high-level research questions? How might this help other research or researchers?), Purpose (What specific things do the researchers want to do? What specific knowledge do the researchers want to gain? What specific hypothesis do the researchers want to test?), Method (How did the researchers do the work or find what they sought? What are the procedures and steps of the research?), or Finding (What did the researchers find out? Did the proposed methods work? Did the thing behave as the researchers expected?). 

Here we ask whether there are general properties that make a contact network intrinsically vulnerable to epidemics ( that is , regardless of specific epidemiological parameters ).
purpose

as tularaemia outbreaks in human populations have been frequently associated with disease in animals.
purpose

Here , we fill this knowledge gap by developing and validating an analytical framework that requires only basic analytics from stochastic processes.
