Infectious diseases of humans : dynamics and control / Roy M. Anderson and Robert M. May. - First Edition - viii, 757 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Oxford science publications .
Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [697]-735).
A famework for discussing the population biology of infections diseases -- Biology fo host - microparasite associations -- The basic model: statics -- Static aspects of eradication and control -- The basic model: dynamics -- Dynamic aspects of eradication and control -- Beyond the basic model: empirical evidence for inhomogeneous mixing -- Age-related transmission rates -- Genetic heterogeneity -- Social heterogeneity and sexually transmted diseases -- Spatial and other kinds of heterogeneity -- Endemic infections in developing countries indirectly transmitted microparasites -- Biology of host - macroparasite associations -- The basic model: statics -- The basic model: dynamics -- Acquired immunity -- Heterogeneity within the human community -- Indirectly within the human community -- Experimental epidemiology -- Parasites, genetic variability, and drug resistance -- The ecology and genetics of host-parasite associations.
Much-acclaimed, this book is now available in paperback. It provides an analytical framework for evaluating public health measures aimed at eradicating or controlling communicable diseases such as malaria, measles, river blindness, sleeping sickness, schistosomiasis, and AIDS. The authors are leaders in the field. Their distinctive contribution has been to show the practice and far-reaching power of mathematical modelling in epidemiology, fully set out here for the first time.
