| Popis: |
The first part of this chapter covers compartment-based models that are constructed under the uniform mixing assumption. The role of the basic reproductive ratio in these models is illustrated both by theoretical results and simulations with IONTW (Infections On NeTWorks), a teaching tool that was developed by the authors and uses the NetLogo language. The second part introduces students to network-based models of disease transmission. In these models it is assumed that the infection can be transmitted only during a direct contact between two hosts who are adjacent in the underlying contact network. Models of this kind allow for incorporation of more realistic details than do compartment-based models that assume uniform mixing. Students are guided through sequences of conceptual and simulation exercises to discover how the network structure influences the predictions of the model, including predictions about the effectiveness of possible control measures. |
