Overview
Key Facts
We live in a highly interconnected world, where infectious diseases find opportunities to spread globally, like never before in the history of mankind. This raises new challenges in public health for epidemiologists, medical doctors and biologists alike, engaged in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Mathematical and computational models can contribute in this cross-disciplinary, concerted effort. They can make short-term predictions on how epidemics progress, help analyze scenarios on epidemic outcome and inform about the impact of public health interventions.
At the end of Modeling Of Infectious Diseases course offered by Institut Pasteur, you will be able to:
- Build a model using flow charts
- Identify how flow charts are translated into ordinary differential equations
- Recognize techniques for deriving formulas for the basic reproduction number, R0, and the effective reproduction number, R
- Identify the principles of estimating R0 and R from data
- Recognize the SIR model
- Identify how public health interventions can be modeled using flow charts
Programme Structure
This course will focus on:
- Compartmental models and flow diagrams
- Intervals of interest in infectious diseases
- Modeling multiple strains and cross infections
- Mixing models and transmission models
- How to write a deterministic model based on a flow diagram?
- The SIR model
- R0 and its calculation
- Modelling interventions
