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 modelbased
literature and reports. The course will be delivered in a combination of lectures
and practical tutorials in which students build and analyse models.
