Disease dynamics models

Disease dynamics models are mathematical tools used to understand how diseases spread within populations over time. They simulate interactions between susceptible individuals, those infected, and recoveries or interventions. By applying these models, scientists can predict outbreaks, assess control strategies, and understand factors influencing transmission. They help public health officials make informed decisions by providing a clearer picture of potential future scenarios, ultimately aiding in the prevention and management of infectious diseases.
