Abstract
The spread of a disease, a computer virus or information is discussed in a directed complex network. We are concerned with a steady state of the spread for the SIR and SIS dynamic models. In a scale-free directed network it is shown that the threshold of its outbreak in both models approaches zero under a high correlation between nodal indegrees and outdegrees.
