Infectious diseases are transmitted through various different
mechanisms including person to person interactions, by insect
vectors and via vertical transmission from a parent to an unborn
offspring. The population dynamics of such disease transmission can
be very complicated and the development of rational strategies for
controlling and preventing the spread of these diseases requires
careful modeling and analysis. The book describes current methods
for formulating models and analyzing the dynamics of the
propagation of diseases which include vertical transmission as one
of the mechanisms for their spread. Generic models that describe
broad classes of diseases as well as models that are tailored to
the dynamics of a specific infection are formulated and analyzed.
The effects of incubation periods, maturation delays, and
age-structure, interactions between disease transmission and
demographic changes, population crowding, spatial spread, chaotic
dynamic behavior, seasonal periodicities and discrete time interval
events are studied within the context of specific disease
transmission models. No previous background in disease transmission
modeling and analysis is assumedand the required biological
concepts and mathematical methods are gradually introduced within
the context of specific disease transmission models. Graphs are
widely used to illustrate and explain the modeling assumptions and
results. REMARKS: NOTE: the authors have supplied variants on the
promotion text that are more suitable for promotionin different
fields (by virtue of different emphasis in the content). They are
not enclosed, but in the mathematics editorial.
