Since the beginning of this century there has been a growing
interest in the study of the epidemiology and population dynamics
of infectious disease agents. Mathematical and statistical methods
have played an important role in the development of this field and
a large, and sophisticated, literature exists which is concerned
with the theory of epidemiological processes in popu lations and
the dynamics of epidemie and endemie disease phenomena. Much ofthis
literature is, however, rather formal and abstract in character,
and the field has tended to become rather detached from its
empirical base. Relatively little of the literature, for example,
deals with the practical issues which are of major concern to
public health workers. Encouragingly, in recent years there are
signs of an increased awareness amongst theoreticians of the need
to confront predictions with observed epidemiological trends, and
to pay elose attention to the biological details of the interaction
between host and disease agent. This trend has in part been
stimulated by the early work of Ross and Macdonald, on the
transmission dynamics of tropical parasitic infections, but a
further impetus has been the recent advances made by ecologists in
blending theory and observation in the study of plant and animal
populations.
