Epidemics 2018 Edition PDF-This book is designed to be a practical study in infectious disease dynamics. The book offers an easy to follow implementation and analysis of mathematical epidemiology. The book focuses on recent case studies in order to explore various conceptual, mathematical, and statistical issues. The dynamics of infectious diseases shows a wide diversity of pattern. Some have locally persistent chains-of-transmission, others persist spatially in ‘consumer-resource metapopulations’. Some infections are prevalent among the young, some among the old and some are age-invariant. Temporally, some diseases have little variation in prevalence, some have predictable seasonal shifts and others exhibit violent epidemics that may be regular or irregular in their timing. Models and ‘models-with-data’ have proved invaluable for understanding and predicting this diversity, and thence help improve intervention and control. Using mathematical models to understand infectious disease dynamics has a very rich history in epidemiology. The field has seen broad expansions of theories as well as a surge in real-life application of mathematics to dynamics and control of infectious disease. The chapters of Epidemics: Models and Data using R have been organized in a reasonably logical way: Chapters 1-10 is a mix and match of models, data and statistics pertaining to local disease dynamics; Chapters 11-13 pertains to spatial and spatiotemporal dynamics; Chapter 14 highlights similarities between the dynamics of infectious disease and parasitoid-host dynamics; Finally, Chapters 15 and 16 overview additional statistical methodology useful in studies of infectious disease dynamics. This book can be used as a guide for working with data, models and ‘models-and-data’ to understand epidemics and infectious disease dynamics in space and time.

The Authors

Dr. Ottar Bjornstad researches population dynamics of epidemiological and ecological outbreaks. Focal systems includes human infections like measles, whooping cough, rubella and influenza; animal infections like rabies, hantavirus and distemper; and outbreaks of various insects of biomedical and agricultural concern. He has expertise in statistical and computational approaches to the study of spatiotemporal dynamics, including the development of a suite of statistical methods for the analysis of spatial and temporal data as implemented in various R-packages. His expertise has been used in an advisory capacity for outbreak control and mitigation by the USDA forest Service, the NIH Fogarty International Centre and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr. Bjornstad is a Distinguished Professor of Entomology and Biology and holds the J. Lloyd & Dorothy Foehr Huck Chair of Epidemiology at the Pennsylvania State University.

Andrew Dobson “Ottar Bjornstad has a ‘Black belt’ in epidemiological and ecological modelling. His papers with Bryan Grenfell on measles provide benchmarks for us all, as does Ottar’s work on insect and fisheries populations. This volume eloquently distills a deep and functional knowledge of both R and epidemic models into a sequence of well organized and insightful chapters. These provide a comprehensive course for graduate students and many new and important insights for those who’ve worked in the field for decades. If you work in this field and this book’s not on your book shelves, or carried around with you, you’re a light weight! Buy it, relish it, and learn from it!!”

Grady Heller “I like it a lot, but it has a few limitations. While it’s pretty easy to follow and the example code is really easy to use, I suppose I would like some more detail on some of the methods, and it seems like some minor techniques are left out. Great otherwise though, and I’m pretty sure if you want to learn about epidemic modelling and how to apply methods in R, there isn’t a better book than this right here.”

Ashley “I bought this book for a class I’m taking in a PTA program. I’m giving 5 stars to delivery and packaging, but the content is what gets 4 stars. While the book is helpful in learning what pathologies are, I felt like I needed another source to help me decipher what the book was saying at some points. Even after my class, I still find myself referring to this book, so I’m glad I chose to purchase it.”

Big Boss Hoss “This book is full of information, examples, charts, and helpful pictures; however, the book reads like a repetitive run on sentence. You also get a massive amount of information in a section that has little to do with the topic then the next topic is exactly that useless bit from the last topic cut and pasted. An editor would be nice. As well as bold terms with defined definitions. It is also hard to find information because of the lack of bold terms. Hard to look back and find information in the book as well without having to reread a whole chapter or section of a chapter.”
