Description for Modeling Infectious Diseases in Humans and Animals
Hardback. Offers an introduction to the modeling of infectious diseases in humans and animals. This book moves from modeling with simple differential equations to more complex models, where spatial structure, seasonal 'forcing', or stochasticity influence the dynamics, and where computer simulation needs to be used to generate theory. Num Pages: 408 pages, 141 line illus. 7 tables. BIC Classification: RG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 262 x 183 x 26. Weight in Grams: 944.
For epidemiologists, evolutionary biologists, and health-care professionals, real-time and predictive modeling of infectious disease is of growing importance. This book provides a timely and comprehensive introduction to the modeling of infectious diseases in humans and animals, focusing on recent developments as well as more traditional approaches. Matt Keeling and Pejman Rohani move from modeling with simple differential equations to more recent, complex models, where spatial structure, seasonal "forcing," or stochasticity influence the dynamics, and where computer simulation needs to be used to generate theory. In each of the eight chapters, they deal with a specific modeling approach or set of ... Read more

Reviews for Modeling Infectious Diseases in Humans and Animals
"Matt Keeling and Pejman Rohani...have made important and original contributions to epidemiology...and are well qualified to deliver an authoritative, comprehensive and up-to-date review. [The authors] advocate...the use of mathematical models to help design disease-control programs. They recognize that modeling is a partnership between modelers and empiricists. For that reason, I hope that [readership] will extend beyond existing and new devotees ... Read more
