The　design　of　routing　strategies　for　traffic-driven　epidemic　spreading　has　received　increasing　attention　in　recent　years.　In　this　paper,　we　propose　an　adaptive　routing　strategy　that　incorporates　topological　distance　with　local　epidemic　information　through　a　tunable　parameter　h.　In　the　case　where　the　traffic　is　free　of　congestion,　there　exists　an　optimal　value　of　routing　parameter　h,　leading　to　the　maximal　epidemic　threshold.　This　means　that　epidemic　spreading　can　be　more　effectively　controlled　by　adaptive　routing,　compared　to　that　of　the　static　shortest　path　routing　scheme.　Besides,　we　find　that　the　optimal　value　of　h　can　greatly　relieve　the　traffic　congestion　in　the　case　of　finite　node-delivering　capacity.　We　expect　our　work　to　provide　new　insights　into　the　effects　of　dynamic　routings　on　traffic-driven　epidemic　spreading.　(C)　2016　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
