Event Insights : Gain more knowledge on Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications - for publication and research. Mathematical models are being increasingly used to understand the transmission of infections and to evaluate the potential impact of control programmes in reducing morbidity and mortality. Applications include determining optimal control strategies against new or emergent infections, such as SARS-Cov-2, swine flu, Zika or Ebola, or against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, and predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infections such as measles and rubella. Modelling was used extensively in the UK during the swine flu pandemic to monitor the extent of ongoing transmission and the potential impact of control such as school closures and vaccination. It has also been used in many countries to predict the impact of interventions against COVID-19.
