内容介绍：This talk, with graduate students as the target audience, will provide an introduction for mathematical modeling, analysis and simulation of cholera transmission dynamics. Cholera is a severe waterborne infection that remains a significant public health burden in developing countries. The transmission of cholera includes both direct and indirect routes that may involve complex biological, environmental and socioeconomic factors. We will first present and analyze several simple cholera models, which are based on differential equations, to illustrate their dynamical properties and biological interpretations. We will next consider numerical simulation of cholera dynamics, with application to disease control and outbreak management. We will additionally discuss a few extensions to the basic cholera modeling framework.
