Manuscript Topics

Well-formulated and parametrized mathematical models are critical tools for predicting the course of infectious diseases, understanding the mechanisms driving outcomes of disease transmission, and informing effective infectious disease interventions. In an increasingly connected and complex world, accounting for the synergistic effects of economic and social factors in such models is essential for effective disease control. Hence, to answer important and urgent public health and economic growth questions realistically, and to respond to spontaneous events affecting the economic or social landscape, it is important to develop mechanistic model frameworks that account for feedback between infectious diseases and economic/socio-economic factors, as well as the impact of fast-slow time scales and sudden endogenous and exogenous events that shift the economic landscape. This special issue is devoted to studies that involve the development and application of infectious disease and economic models to address questions in disease dynamics, as well as questions at the interface of infectious disease dynamics and economic development or sociological factors.
