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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Brauer, Carlos Castillo-Chavez, Zhilan Feng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493998269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493998265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.38d","brand":"Fred Brauer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936289947903,"sku":"9781493998265","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a5f0cb83-3a64-4e3d-8986-417413511db6.jpg?v=1681424694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematical-models-in-epidemiology-fred-brauer-9781493998265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
