Description

This course addresses design, analysis and reporting of mathematical models of infectious disease transmission through populations. Mathematical models are increasingly used in the evaluation of infectious disease interventions and as a tool for understanding the epidemiology of infections. The focus in this course is on building simple mathematical models of infectious disease transmission, understanding their use of answering questions about public health interventions of interest, analysing model-based literature and reports. The course will be delivered in a combination of lectures and practical tutorials in which students build and analyse models.
