What is Modern Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Concepts, Methods, Mathematical Models, and Public Health (Statistics for Biology and Health) about?

Hardly a day goes by without news headlines concerning infectious disease threats. Currently the spectre of a pandemic of influenza A|H 1 N 1 is raising its head, and heated debates are taking place about the pro’s and con’s of vaccinating young girls against human papilloma virus.

The aim of our book is to present the reader with the general picture and the main ideas of the subject. The book introduces the reader to methodological aspects of epidemiology that are specific for infectious diseases and provides insight into the epidemiology of some classes of infectious diseases characterized by their main modes of transmission. This choice of topics bridges the gap between scientific research on the clinical, biological, mathematical, social and economic aspects of infectious diseases and their applications in public health. The book will help the reader to understand the impact of infectious diseases on modern society and the instr
