Description for An Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling
Paperback. This book will provide public health and infectious disease researchers with the tools to use and critically evaluate the mathematical models that are increasingly being used to interpret and predict the dynamics and control of infectious diseases. Num Pages: 400 pages, 220 black and white line drawings. BIC Classification: MBNS; MJCJ; PBWH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 233 x 157 x 22. Weight in Grams: 588.
Mathematical models are increasingly being used to examine questions in infectious disease control. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infections and determining optimal control strategies against HIV and pandemic influenza. This book introduces individuals interested in infectious diseases to this exciting and expanding area. The mathematical level of the book is kept as simple as possible, which makes the book accessible to those who have not studied mathematics to university level. Understanding is further enhanced by models that can be accessed online, which will allow readers to explore the impact of different factors and control ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling
This is a book that really introduces non-specialists to the growing field of Mathematical Epidemiology. I am sure that public health specialists, epidimiologists, clinicians, veterinarians, statisticians, mathematicians, economists, and even professional modellers will profit from this book. I recommend it to all my students and now to the readers of Epidemiology and Infection This is an excellent text book ... Read more
