Infectious Diseases of Humans: Dynamics and Control (Oxford Science Publications)
This book deals with infectious diseases -- viral, bacterial, protozoan and helminth -- in terms of the dynamics of their interaction with host populations. Medical books Infectious Diseases of Humans. The book combines mathematical models with extensive use of epidemiological and other data. This analytic framework is highly useful for the evaluation of public health strategies aimed at controlling or eradicating particular infections. Such a framework is increasingly important in light of the widespread concern for primary health care programs aimed at such diseases as measles, malaria, river blindness, sleeping sickness, and schistosomiasis, and the advent of AIDS/HIV and other emerging viruses. Throughout the book, the mathematics is used as a tool for thinking clearly about fundamental and applied problems having to do with infectious diseases Medical books Modeling Infectious Diseases In Humans And Animals By Matt Keeling Hardcover.

Modeling Infectious Diseases in Humans and Animals : Hardback : Princeton University Press : 9780691116174 : 0691116172 : 08 Oct 2007 : Offers an introduction to the modeling of infectious diseases in humans and animals. This book moves from modeling with simple differential equations to more complex models, where spatial structure, seasonal 'forcing', or stochasticity influence the dynamics, and where computer simulation needs to be used to generate theory.

Medical Book Infectious Diseases of Humans
The book combines mathematical models with extensive use of epidemiological and other data. This analytic framework is highly useful for the evaluation of public health strategies aimed at controlling or eradicating particular infections. Such a framework is increasingly important in light of the widespread concern for primary health care programs aimed at such diseases as measles, malaria, river blindness, sleeping sickness, and schistosomiasis, and the advent of AIDS/HIV and other emerging viruses. Throughout the book, the mathematics is used as a tool for thinking clearly about fundamental and applied problems having to do with infectious diseases. The book is divided into two parts, one dealing with microparasites (viruses, bacteria and protozoans) and the other with macroparasites (helminths and parasitic arthropods). Each part begins with simple models, developed in a biologically intuitive way, and then goes on to develop more complicated and realistic models as tools for public health planning. The book synthesizes previous work in this rapidly growing field (much of which is scattered between the ecological and the medical literature) with a good deal of new material.
