Fred Brauer has agreed to give this informal survey talk about TB modeling. There will be a reading list advertised later on for students who would like to read up about these interesting problems.This lecture on disease modeling fits into a theme...

The SARS epidemic of 2002-3 drew attention to nosocomial disease transmission as many of the disease cases were transmitted through hospital staff and visitors. Various types of model have been proposed to describe this, including metapopulation...

We formulate and analyze an age of infection model for epidemics of diseases transmitted by a vector, such as malaria or dengue fever, including also the possibility of direct transmission, as in the Zika virus. We show how to determine a basic...

In vector-borne epidemic models there is often a substantial difference between the vector (usually insects) and host (usually humans) time scales. This makes it possible to view the model as a singular perturbation problem and use the quasi-steady...
