Mathematical and Statistical Modeling for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases

Mathematical and Statistical Modeling for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases edited by Gerardo Chowell, James M. Hyman.

The contributions by epidemic modeling experts describe how mathematical models and statistical forecasting are created to capture the most important aspects of an emerging epidemic.Readers will discover a broad range of approaches to address questions, such as Can we control Ebola via ring vaccinat...
