The art of epidemic modeling : concepts and basic structures -- Modeling the geographic spread of influenza epidemics -- Modeling geographic spread I : population-based approaches -- Spatial heterogeneity and endemicity : the case of measles -- Modeling geographic spread II : individual-based approaches -- Spatial models and the control of foot-and-mouth disease -- Maps, projections, and GIS : geographers' approaches -- Revisiting SARS and looking to the future
The 1918-19 influenza epidemic killed more than fifty million people worldwide. The SARS epidemic of 2002-3, by comparison, killed fewer than a thousand. The success in containing the spread of SARS was due largely to the rapid global response of public health authorities, which was aided by insights resulting from mathematical models. Models enabled authorities to better understand how the disease spread and to assess the relative effectiveness of different control strategies. In this book, Lisa Sattenspiel and Alun Lloyd provide a comprehensive introduction to mathematical models in epidemiology and show how they can be used to predict and control the geographic spread of major infectious diseases. --From publisher's description
