Age of Infection Disease Modeling: From Kermack and McKendrick to Multi-Compartment Models

Explore the evolution of infectious disease modeling in this 26-minute lecture from the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC). Trace the development of mathematical models from the foundational work of Kermack and McKendrick to the modern multi-compartment approaches. Gain insights into how these models have advanced our understanding of disease dynamics and their crucial role in predicting and managing outbreaks. Delve into the complexities of incorporating age-structured populations and other demographic factors into epidemiological simulations, enhancing the accuracy and applicability of disease forecasting tools.
