    These are informal notes, mostly based on the bibliography listed at the end and on recent papers in the field. The practical use of these models is based on the fact that they can be kept realistic enough.

    2016-Lewnard-Townsend-Climatic and evolutionary drivers of phase shifts in the plague epidemics of colonial India
    Our analysis shows that historical datasets can yield powerful insights into the transmission dynamics of reemerging disease agents with which we have limited contemporary experience to guide quantitative modeling and inference.

    2011-Nakul-Chitnis-Introduction to Mathematical Epidemiology - Deterministic Compartmental Model
    Deterministic compartmental models form the simplest models in the mathematical study of infectious disease dynamics. They assume that a population is homogenous (all people are the same) and the only distinction is in their disease state.

    2011-Yanyu_Xiao-Study of Malaria Transmission Dynamics by Mathematical Models
    The novelty lies in the fact that different distribution functions are used to describe the variance of individual latencies. The theoretical results of this project indicate that latencies reduce the basic reproduction number.

    2007-Choisy-Guégan-Rohani-Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases Dynamics
    After presenting general notions of mathematical modeling (Section 22.2) and the nature of epidemiological data available to the modeler (Section 22.3), we detail the very basic SIR epidemiological model (Section 22.5).
