Book Information

Based on lecture notes of two summer schools with a mixed audience from mathematical sciences, epidemiology and public health, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to basic ideas and techniques in modeling infectious diseases, for the comparison of strategies to plan for an anticipated epidemic or pandemic, and to deal with a disease outbreak in real time. It covers detailed case studies for diseases including pandemic influenza, West Nile virus, and childhood diseases. Models for other diseases including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, fox rabies, and sexually transmitted infections are included as applications. Its chapters are coherent and complementary independent units. In order to accustom students to look at the current literature and to experience different perspectives, no attempt has been made to achieve united writing style or unified notation.

Notes on some mathematical background (calculus, matrix algebra, differential equations, and probability) have been prepared and may be downloaded at the web site of the Centre for Disease Modeling (www.cdm.yorku.ca).

Review

From the reviews:

"This book presents a … complete picture of mathematical epidemiology from the point of view of the applied mathematics community. … The stated goal of the book is to ‘persuade epidemiologists and public health workers that mathematical modelling can be of use to them.’ … There seems to be material for almost every kind of student, with a minimal background in calculus and probability theory … . A real life lesson that we cannot neglect." (Hernán G. Solari, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 k)

Book Review

Name: Absinthe
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Excellent reference book for mathematical epidemiology
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2009
Review: I cannot say enough good things about this book; it has non-mathematically-intensive material suitable for epidemiologists wanting to learn about simple SIR models, while also containing a comprehensive overview of material that will enrich even the most advanced computational epidemiologist.

Name: J. D. Logan
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Excellent survey of disease models
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2009
Review: The articles in this book give an excellent, overall, quantitative introduction to many of the issues in modeling in disease epidemiology. It is for the reader who has a strong background in mathematics, especially differential equations; it is not really written for the biology reader. The articles are written by established experts in the field, and there are hundreds of references to relevant literature.
