Modelling microbial infection to address global health challenges 2019-09-20 .txt text/plain 7105 345 32 Epidemiological modelling is a tool that can be used to mitigate this risk by predicting disease spread or quantifying the impact of different intervention strategies on disease transmission dynamics. Epidemiological modelling is a tool that can be used to mitigate this risk by predicting disease spread or quantifying the impact of different intervention strategies on disease transmission dynamics. We illustrate how four decades of methodological advances and improved data quality have facilitated the contribution of modelling to address global health challenges, exemplified by models for the HIV crisis, emerging pathogens and pandemic preparedness.

Compartmental models analysing the interplay between vaccine uptake and disease dynamics confirmed the hypothesis that increases in vaccination were a response to the pertussis infection risk 61 , and showed that incorporating this interplay can improve epidemiological forecasts. ./cache/cord-264994-j8iawzp8.txt ./txt/cord-264994-j8iawzp8.txt
