Now in its third edition, this comprehensive volume is recognized as the most authoritative review of the epidemiology of infectious disease. Divided into five sections that cover methods in infectious disease epidemiology, airborne transmission, diarrheal diseases, blood and body fluid as a reservoir of infectious diseases, vectorborne and parasite disease. This book includes chapters on methodological issues, pathogenesis, and comprehensive reviews of virtually all known infectious diseases. New to the Third Edition: HIV chapter completely updated including results of trials of Male Circumcision, HIV-vaccines, female condoms, Microbicides and new drugs. Influenza chapter updated with new material on H1/N1 and control/prevention of Influenza during a pandemic. Malaria chapter updated with new information on bed nets, prophylactic therapy of pregnant women and other high risk populations as well as new detailed examination of the organization, implementation, and accomplishments of the WHO--Roll-Back Malaria program; and a new description of the 5th Human Malaria parasite--P.knowlesi and its Epidemiology. Hepatitis chapter is revised with new information on HEV virus. New brief chapter discussing the various models of behavioral change that are useful in Infectious Diseases research--e.g. Health Belief model etc. and much more!

This book will demonstrate how the latest developments in molecular tools and in epidemiology can be integrated with studies of host-pathogen interactions. Besides a strong theoretical component, there will also be an emphasis on applications in the fields of epidemiology, public health, veterinary medicine, and health ecology.

Model struktur umur untuk penyebaran penyakit menular akan disajikan dalam tesis ini. Model ini digunakan untuk memahami bagaimana penyakit menyebar di antara populasi tertentu, yaitu tergantung pada usia dan waktu. Model epidemi SIR akan digunakan sebagai model dasar untuk membangun model epidemi SIR yang terstruktur usia. Dalam model ini, intervensi perawatan medis untuk menyembuhkan manusia yang terinfeksi akan diberikan kepada individu yang terinfeksi dan sembuh populasi akan mendapatkan kekebalan permanen. Lebih jauh, kami berasumsi bahwa penyakitnya adalah mematikan dalam kelompok umur tertentu, sehingga akan ada tingkat kematian spesifik usia yang membuat total populasi tidak konstan. Sebuah studi analitik telah dilakukan untuk menghasilkan keseimbangan menunjuk dan memberi tahu bagaimana angka ambang yang disebut nomor reproduksi dasar akan mempengaruhi keseimbangan. Kami menemukan bahwa model ini memiliki dua keseimbangan; keseimbangan bebas penyakit dan keseimbangan endemik. Analisis numerik akan dilakukan untuk beberapa skenario membuat pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang hasil analisis

An age structure model for the spread of infectious diseases will be presented in this thesis. This model is used to understand how diseases spread among certain populations, viz depends on age and time. The SIR epidemic model will be used as a basic model for constructing age-structured SIR epidemic models. In this model, medical treatment interventions to cure infected humans will be given to infected individuals and the healed population will get permanent immunity. Furthermore, we assume that the disease is deadly in certain age groups, so there will be age-specific mortality rates that make the total population not constant. An analytic study has been carried out to produce pointing equilibrium and tells how threshold numbers called basic reproduction numbers will affect equilibrium. We find that this model has two balances; disease-free balance and endemic balance. Numerical analysis will be carried out for several scenarios making a better understanding of the results of the analysis

This book is a world geography of emerging diseases from antiquity to the present day. The last four decades of human history have seen the emergence of an unprecedented number of 'new' infectious diseases. This book looks at the epidemiological and geographical conditions which underpin disease emergence.

Mathematical models can be very helpful to understand the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. This book presents examples of epidemiological models and modeling tools that can assist policymakers to assess and evaluate disease control strategies. Contents: Development and Analysis of Models for Infectious Diseases; Application of Models to Real Disease Data; User-Friendly Modeling Tools for Public Health Policymakers. Readership: Researchers in mathematical biology, mathematical modeling, infectious diseases and complex systems.

This book is focused on the application of modern statistical methods and models to estimate infectious disease parameters, with software guidance, such as R packages, and with data, and features valuable case studies. It is within this context that the Center for Statistics (CenStat, I-Biostat, Hasselt University) and the Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination and the Centre for Health Economic Research and Modelling Infectious Diseases (CEV, CHERMID, Vaccine and Infectious Disease Institute, University of Antwerp) have collaborated over the past 15 years. This book demonstrates the past and current research activities of these institutes and can be considered to be a milestone in this collaboration.
