We present an introduction to basic epidemiological models for the spread of infectious diseases, emphasising the role of the basic reproductive number R_0 and giving a detailed description of the dynamics. The models that we discuss are the so-called Susceptible-Infectious (SI), the Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible (SIS), the epidemic and endemic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) and the Susceptible-Infectious-Treated-Recovered (SITR). At the end of the thesis we present a discussion of some recent extensions of these basic models aimed at describing the evolution of the Covid pandemic in its earlier stages.

Abstract

We present an introduction to basic epidemiological models for the spread of infectious diseases, emphasising the role of the basic reproductive number R_0 and giving a detailed description of the dynamics. The models that we discuss are the so-called Susceptible-Infectious (SI), the Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible (SIS), the epidemic and endemic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) and the Susceptible-Infectious-Treated-Recovered (SITR). At the end of the thesis we present a discussion of some recent extensions of these basic models aimed at describing the evolution of the Covid pandemic in its earlier stages.

Dynamics and Modelling of Infectious Diseases
We present an introduction to basic epidemiological models for the spread of infectious diseases, emphasising the role of the basic reproductive number R_0 and giving a detailed description of the dynamics. The models that we discuss are the so-called Susceptible-Infectious (SI), the Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible (SIS), the epidemic and endemic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) and the Susceptible-Infectious-Treated-Recovered (SITR). At the end of the thesis we present a discussion of some recent extensions of these basic models aimed at describing the evolution of the Covid pandemic in its earlier stages.
