The modeling developed for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) utilizes a range of techniques from statistics, ecology, and demography that are of interest both as case studies and for providing tools for other modeling projects. Statistical Aspects of BSE and vCJD: Models for Epidemics presents the general methodology required for analysis and modeling of long incubation diseases with largely unknown etiology. BSE in British cattle is the primary example system presented, but application to other diseases is also ...

The modeling developed for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) utilizes a range of techniques from statistics, ecology, and demography that are of interest both as case studies and for providing tools for other modeling projects. Statistical Aspects of BSE and vCJD: Models for Epidemics presents the general methodology required for analysis and modeling of long incubation diseases with largely unknown etiology. BSE in British cattle is the primary example system presented, but application to other diseases is also highlighted. The book presents an exposition of the state-of-the-art rather than introductory material on the mathematical/statistical modeling of infectious diseases.
