SUMMARY:Recent progress in mathematical epidemiology and some future needs
  - Anderson\, R (LSHTM)
DTSTART:20130823T103000Z
DTEND:20130823T113000Z
UID:TALK46802@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:The talk first briefly examine recent progress in mathematical
  epidemiology over the past decade with mention of: (1) inference – para
 meter estimation\;\n(2) complex spatially structured stochastic models of 
 transmission and control\; (3) Visual display of results\; (4) range of in
 fectious disease addressed – both in Medicine and Veterinary sciences\; 
 and (5) influence in policy formulation – mathematical models now regard
 ed by most as an essential tool in policy formulation.\n\nThe main part of
  the talk will focus on new research on the study of the transmission and 
 control of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)\, with emphasis on how m
 odels can help in the design of mass chemotherapy programmes.\n
