Synopsis
Effectively Assess Intervention Options for Controlling Infectious Diseases
Our experiences with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Ebola virus disease (EVD) remind us of the continuing need to be vigilant against the emergence of new infectious diseases. Mathematical modeling is increasingly used in the management of infectious disease control as a way to assess interventions relatively quickly, cheaply, and safely. Modeling to Inform Infectious Disease Control shows readers how to take advantage of these models when developing strategies to mitigate infectious disease transmission.
The book presents a way of modeling as well as modeling results that help to guide the effective management of infectious disease transmission and outbreak response. It discusses the requirements for preventing epidemics and ways to quantify the impact of preventative public health interventions on the size and dynamics of an epidemic. The book also illustrates how data are used to inform model choice.
Accessible to readers with diverse backgrounds, this book explains how to gain insight into the management of infectious diseases through statistical modeling. With end-of-chapter exercises and glossaries of infectious disease terminology and notation, the text is suitable for a graduate-level public health course. Supplementary technical material is provided at the end of each chapter for readers with a stronger background in mathematics and an interest in the art of modeling. In addition, bibliographic notes point readers to literature in which extensions and more general results can be found.

In addition, bibliographic notes point readers to literature in which extensions and more general results can be found. Statistical modeling is increasingly used to inform infectious disease control, but the complex nature of the methods can make them difficult for public health professionals to apply. This book provides an accessible and practical introduction to the modeling of infectious diseases, enabling these professionals to use the techniques for effective infectious disease management. The mathematical details are kept to a minimum, with some provided in appendices, so that the methods can be understood by applied researchers. The book includes plenty of real examples to illustrate the application of the methods along with Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
