Beschreibung

The book is a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the mathematical modeling and analysis of disease transmission models. It includes (i) an introduction to the main concepts of compartmental models including models with heterogeneous mixing of individuals and models for vector-transmitted diseases, (ii) a detailed analysis of models for important specific diseases, including tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, influenza, Ebola virus disease, malaria, dengue fever and the Zika virus, (iii) an introduction to more advanced mathematical topics, including age structure, spatial structure, and mobility, and (iv) some challenges and opportunities for the future.
There are exercises of varying degrees of difficulty, and projects leading to new research directions. For the benefit of public health professionals whose contact with mathematics may not be recent, there is an appendix covering the necessary mathematical background. There are indications which sections require a strong mathematical background so that the book can be useful for both mathematical modelers and public health professionals.

Über den Autor

Fred Brauer is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and an Honorary professor at the University of British Columbia. His research interests are in dynamical systems and mathematical models in epidemiology. He has been active in the China - Canada Joint Program on Infectious Diseases and in the organization of several summer programs organized by MITACS ( Mathematics for Information Technology and Complex Systems) to present mathematical epidemiology to a mixed audience of mathematicians and public health professionals and encourage contacts between these groups.
