Description: Infectious diseases evolve with great rapidity, relentlessly threatening the health of humankind. Newly emerging diseases, a surge of antibiotic resistance, and the elusive nature of the HIV pathogen all underscore the conclusion that responsible health management must no longer ignore the continual adaptation of pathogens. Written for graduate students and researchers, this books provides a unique integration of mathematical evolutionary modeling and disease management. It explains the fundamental concepts and techniques behind the modeling tools, and presents the latest novel approaches to the evolutionary management of disease virulence.
