Ticks,
mosquitoes, diseases and mathematics
The intersection of
mathematics and biology has provided a wealth of new and
exciting topics for engaging teaching and research.
Infectious diseases affect everyone and provide a
conceptually easy area of biology for mathematicians. I will
present an introduction to infectious disease modeling with
examples from my research into Rift Valley Fever (a
mosquito-borne disease in Africa) and Ehrlichiosis (a
tick-borne disease of the Southeastern US).
