See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject introduces students to the use of mathematical models to describe the transmission and control of infectious diseases and to guide policy decisions. You will be introduced to the theory of infectious disease modelling, including numerical and analytical methods for analysing models. These models have advantages and disadvantages, including how they account for the inherent random events underlying epidemics. You will learn how to model different mechanisms of disease transmission such as respiratory transmission (e.g. COVID-19); sexual contact (e.g. HIV); or vector-borne (e.g. malaria). By considering real world use of models to support practice, you will gain the skills to choose the best model framework for a given policy decision.
