Eradicating a Disease: Lessons from Mathematical Epidemiology (2012)

unapi

Smallpox remains the only human disease ever eradicated. In this paper, we consider the mathematics behind control strategies used in the effort to eradicate smallpox, from the life tables of Daniel Bernoulli, to the more modern susceptible-infected-removed (SIR)-type compartmental models. In addition, we examine the mathematical feasibility of the eradication of polio and certain other infectious diseases.
