TLDR
This book discusses the biology of host-microparasite associations, dynamics of acquired immunity heterogeneity within the human community indirectly transmitted helminths, and the ecology and genetics of hosts and parasites.Abstract:
Part 1 Microparasites: biology of host-microparasite associations the basic model - statics static aspects of eradication and control the basic model - dynamics dynamic aspects of eradication and control beyond the basic model - empirical evidence of inhomogeneous mixing age-related transmission rates genetic heterogeneity social heterogeneity and sexually transmitted diseases spatial and other kinds of heterogeneity endemic infections in developing countries indirectly transmitted microparasites. Part 2 Macroparasites: biology of host-macroparasite associations the basic model - statics the basic model - dynamics acquired immunity heterogeneity within the human community indirectly transmitted helminths experimental epidemiology parasites, genetic variability, and drug resistance the ecology and genetics of host-parasite associations.read more

Genomic Infectious Disease Epidemiology in Partially Sampled and Ongoing Outbreaks
TL;DR: The transmission tree inference methodology is uniquely suited to use in a public health environment during real-time outbreak investigations by accounting for unsampled cases and an outbreak which may not have reached its end.

The population dynamics of brucellosis in the yellowstone national park
Andrew P. Dobson,Mary Meagher +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that an understanding of infectious disease dynamics is crucial to the management and conservation of wild and domestic ungulate species in and around national parks and other nature reserves.

Spatial epidemiology of networked metapopulation: an overview
TL;DR: This review elaborates the latest progresses on the spatial metapopulation dynamics, discusses empirical and theoretical findings that verify the validity of networked meetapopulations, and the sketches application in evaluating the effectiveness of disease intervention strategies as well.

A mathematical model of hepatitis B virus transmission and its application for vaccination strategy in China
Shoujun Zhao,Zhiyi Xu,Ying Lu +2 more
TL;DR: The model shows that vaccination coverage is the most important indicator for the elimination of HBV transmission, and the higher the vaccination coverage, the better the long-term effectiveness of immunization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious Disease Modeling of Social Contagion in Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a novel theoretical framework for studying these phenomena (the SISa model) by adapting a classic disease model to include the possibility for "automatic" (or "spontaneous" non-social infection.
