Modeling Infectious Diseases in Humans and Animals Keeling Matt J.
For epidemiologists, evolutionary biologists, and health-care professionals, real-time and predictive modeling of infectious disease is of growing importance. In each of the eight chapters, they deal with a specific modeling approach or set of techniques designed to capture a particular biological factor. 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.
They illustrate the methodology used with examples from recent research literature on human and infectious disease
