Mathematics for Infectious Diseases; Deterministic Models: A Key

Abstract

The occurrence of infectious diseases was the principle reason for the demise of the ancient India. The main infectious diseases were smallpox, measles, influenza and typhus. There were also other diseases such as whooping cough, the mumps and diphtheria. It would be very difficult to obtain current information regarding important diseases, methods of transmission, methods of control and the likes. Since the wrong theories or knowledge have hindered advances in understanding. Therefore, this paper seeks to give a simple and clear description of mathematical models for infectious diseases. It has become important tools in understanding the fundamental mechanisms that drive the spread of infectious diseases.
