Mathematical Approaches for Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases: Models, Methods, and Theory /

This book grew out of the discussions and presentations that began during the Workshop on Emerging and Reemerging Diseases (May 17-21, 1999) sponsored by the Institute for Mathematics and its Application (IMA) at the University of Minnesota with the support of NIH and NSF. The workshop started with...
