Infectious Disease Model

An infectious disease model is a mathematical tool used to predict how a disease spreads within a population. It considers factors like how many people are susceptible, infected, or recovered, as well as rates of transmission and recovery. By simulating different scenarios, these models help public health officials understand potential outbreaks, evaluate intervention strategies (like vaccinations or social distancing), and make informed decisions to control or prevent the spread of diseases. Essentially, it's a way to forecast and manage infectious disease dynamics using data and mathematical principles.
