A practical guide to mathematical methods for estimating infectious disease outbreak risks

A practical guide to mathematical methods for estimating infectious disease outbreak risks

Mathematical models are increasingly used throughout infectious disease outbreaks to guide control measures. In this review article, we focus on the initial stages of an outbreak, when a pathogen has just been observed in a new location (e.g., a town, region or country). We provide a beginner’s guid...
