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.
