Modeling Infectious Diseases

Mathematical models are conceptual tools that describe the functioning of systems of objects. In epidemiology, they contribute to the understanding of fundamental epidemiological processes or are used to predict disease spread at various spatial-temporal scales and its prevention and control. Alone or combined with economic cost-effectiveness studies, mathematical models and associated statistical techniques have become invaluable decision-making tools in public health in general and in planning mitigation strategies against any epidemic of a communicable disease in particular.
