A new short course programme we will be hosting at the University of Oxford in September 2019: Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases – intermediate level. See detail
The effects of demographic change on ...
The demographic structure of populations in both more developed and less developed countries is changing: increases in life expectancy and declining fertility have led to older populations and smaller households. The implications of these demographic changes for the spread and control of infectious diseases are not fully understood. While reasonable over short time frames, for example […]
