>2 week intensive course on:
>
>"INTRODUCTION TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE MODELLING AND ITS APPLICATIONS"
>
>at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
>
>15-26th July 2002
>
>Summary:
>Mathematical modelling is increasingly being applied to interpret and
>predict the dynamics and control of infectious diseases.  Applications
>include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against
>infections such as measles, rubella and polio and determining optimal
>control strategies against HIV and onchocerciasis.
>
>This two week intensive course is intended to introduce professionals
>working on infectious diseases to this exciting and expanding area.  The
>emphasiis will be on developing a conceptual understanding of the basic
>methods and on their practical application, rather than the manipulation
>of mathematical equations.
>
>Who should attend:
>The course is designed for individuals interested in expanding their
>knowledge of the techniques for analysing and interpreting
>epidemiological data on infectious diseases and for predicting the
>impact of control programmes, including medical and health
>professionals, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical
>
>statisticians and infectious disease researchers.
>
>Specialist mathematical training is not a prerequisite.  However,
>individuals with degrees in mathematical disciplines working on some
>aspect of infectious disease dynamics and/ or control, who wish to learn
>about the potential of infectious disease modelling will also benefit.
