Mathematical and Statistical Modeling for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases

The contributions by epidemic modeling experts describe how mathematical models and statistical forecasting are created to capture the most important aspects of an emerging epidemic.Readers will discover a broad range of approaches to address questions, such as Can we control Ebola via ring vaccinat...
