 Overview

There is an urgent need for quantitative tools applied to the infection dynamics of emergent and re-emergent diseases. This program focus on the mathematical models as applied to those classes of infections and is intended to attract the international interest. It is assumed that classical epidemiological methods are very limited to the understanding of the transmission dynamics and, in particulars, for the designing of control strategies.

The program will be structured around workshops designed to bring together researchers from a wide spectrum of mathematical and statistical epidemiology. The main themes to be covered include

  • Emerging and re-emerging vector-borne infections

  • Emerging and re-emerging directly transmitted infections

  • Emerging and re-emerging sexually transmitted infections

  • Emerging and re-emerging antibiotic infections

There is a wide avenue open for the development of new methods with enormous potential of application in the field of mathematical and statistical epidemiology. Therefore, this program will join researchers from around the world to integrate and synergize the strengths of mathematics, statistics and epidemiology to the understanding of disease dynamics and to propose control strategies.
