| Title | Recent advances in disease modelling |
| Organizer | Robert Smith? |
| The University of Ottawa | |
| Abstract | This minisymposium examines some recent work in modelling of diseases. Talks will discuss immunology, epidemiology and also the interface between the two. Techniques include metapopulation models, numerical simulations and impulsive differential equations. Diseases include HIV, measles, general disease models and that scourge of humanity known as zombies. Control methods include vaccines, antiretroviral drugs, quarantine and beheading of the undead. Be afraid. Be very afraid. |
