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.
