The Geographic Spread of Infectious Diseases: Models and Applications (Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology)

The 1918-19 influenza epidemic killed more than fifty million people worldwide. Download The Geographic Spread of Infectious Diseases medical books for free.
The SARS epidemic of 2002-3, by comparison, killed fewer than a thousand. The success in containing the spread of SARS was due largely to the rapid global response of public health authorities, which was aided by insights resulting from mathematical models. Models enabled authorities to better understand how the disease spread and to assess the relative effectiveness of different control strategies. In this book, Lisa Sattenspiel and Alun Lloyd provide a comprehensive introduction to mathematical models in epidemiology and show how they can be used to predict and control the geographic spread of major infectious diseases.Key concepts in infectious disease modeling Get The Geographic Spread of Infectious Diseases our bestseller medical books.
