This book deals with how we construct and use deterministic mathematical models of the transmission of infectious diseases in domestic and wild animals. It is a manual, drawing on examples from the world of veterinary medicine, but will appeal to the interested reader from any background. Mathematical models of infectious disease transmission dynamics are increasingly used to inform population-based disease control strategies. Such strategies are typically implemented by clinicians (in both human and animal medicine), policy makers, and career civil servants. This book will be of value to all such parties.

“The book does a good job of introducing disease transmission concepts with a minimum of necessary mathematics. Because most veterinary students have limited training in mathematics, this book will fill an important niche for interested students. […] It is also an excellent intro¬duction to disease transmission modelling for those who wish to progress to more advanced methods.”Michael Sanderson, DVM, MS, DACVPMKansas State University; Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, March 2020
