Using mathematical models to understand disease transmission and control

Disease persistence, Low theta and High theta graphs

This is a recording of Edinburgh Mathematical Society (EMS) meeting, October 27, 2023.

 

Deconstructing beta: Using mathematical models to understand disease transmission and control – (Prof. Rachel Norman FRSE, University of Stirling)

In this talk we will look at mathematical models of infectious diseases and how we model disease transmission and hence understand disease control for a series of case studies. Starting with the simple models that you will be familiar with since covid and ending with an example of disease with multiple hosts and multiple transmission routes.
