| Abstract | "This volume summarizes the state-of-the-art in the fast growing research area of modeling the influence of information-driven human behavior on the spread and control of infectious diseases. In particular, it features the two main and inter-related "core" topics: behavioral changes in response to global threats, for example, pandemic influenza, and the pseudo-rational opposition to vaccines .... In order to make realistic predictions, modelers need to go beyond classical mathematical epidemiology to take these dynamic effects into account."--P. [4] of cover. |
