The author explains the use of mathematical modeling in developing strategies to mitigate infectious disease transmission and outbreak response. He discusses the requirements for preventing epidemics; how the dynamics of infectivity change over time, including minor outbreaks when infected individuals are homogeneous, in a community of households, and when individuals differ; how to model the impact of a vaccine that is only partially effective; public health interventions based on social distancing and incorporating them into models; the effectiveness of interventions to reduce the size of an epidemic; the dynamics of case incidence of an epidemic over time and how different public health interventions affect them; and how data are used to inform model choice. Only basic knowledge of math is required (basic statistics and how to interpret an algebraic formula and solve an equation), and a one-semester course in biostatistics is recommended. Supplementary material for readers with a stronger mathematical background is provided at the ends of chapters. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
