Modeling and Control of Infectious Diseases in the Host: With MATLAB and R

Modeling and Control of Infectious Diseases in the Host provides a holistic understanding of health and disease by presenting topics on quantitative decision-making that influence the development of drugs. The book presents modeling advances in different viral infections, dissecting detailed contributions of key players along with their respective interactions. By combining tailored in vivo experiments and mathematical modeling approaches, the book clarifies the relative contributions of different underlying mechanisms within hosts of the most lethal viral infections, including HIV, influenza, and Ebola. Illustrative examples for parameter fitting, modeling, and control applications are explained using MATLAB. Companion software online also contains MATLAB code.
