The book presents modeling advances in different viral infections, dissecting detailed contributions of key players, along with their respective interactions. By combining tailored in vivo experiments and mathematical modeling approaches, the book clarifies the relative contributions of different underlying mechanisms within hosts of the most lethal viral infections, including HIV, influenza and Ebola. Illustrative examples for parameter fitting, modeling and control applications are explained using MATLAB and R.
- Provides a multi-scale framework to link within-host infection dynamics (individual level) to between-host transmission fitness (epidemiological level) in viral infectious diseases
- Includes PK/PD modeling and simulation approaches to improve efficiency and decision-making at preclinical development phases
- Presents a theoretic approach to schedule drug treatments
Researchers working in theoretical immunology, mathematical epidemiology, modeling, and biomathematics, as well as graduate students working in mathematical modelling in biology
