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 vaccination strategies? How quickly should we detect Ebola cases to ensure epidemic control?  What is the likelihood that an Ebola epidemic in West Africa leads to secondary outbreaks in other parts of t
