Mathematical Models and Inverse Algorithms for Childhood Infectious Diseases with Vaccination - Case Studies in Measles
DownloadFall 2014
Children are at a high risk of infection since they have not yet developed mature immunity. Childhood infectious diseases, such as measles, chicken pox and mumps, remain epidemic and endemic around the world. Yet, their dynamics are still not fully understood. SIR-type models have been proposed...
