Modeling Infectious Diseases in Humans and Animals
"Matt Keeling and Pejman Rohani...have made important and original contributions to epidemiology...and are well qualified to deliver an authoritative, comprehensive and up-to-date review. [The authors] advocate...the use of mathematical models to help design disease-control programs. They recognize that modeling is a partnership between modelers and empiricists. For that reason, I hope that [readership] will extend beyond existing and new devotees of this challenging and exciting discipline."--Mark Woolhouse,Nature"This book represents a valuable step toward educating readers to have greater appreciation and understanding of the development of mathematical models in infectious diseases."--Carol Y. Lin,Biometrics Book Reviews"[T]he authors have created a well written and essential reference for epidemiologists, mathematicians and other scientists interested in the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases."--Michael Hohle,Biometrical Journal
