Abstract

Host behavior and environmental factors influence disease dynamics in a variety of ways through affecting the pathogen such as the survival of infective stages outside the host and via host demographies from changing birth rates, carrying capacitities, social organization, etc. Sometimes such influences have relatively subtle consequences (e.g., slight changes in R 0) as is likely the effect of absolute humidity on influenza transmission (Lowen et al., 2007; Bjørnstad & Viboud, 2016).
The chapter uses the following R packages: deSolve and plotrix.
A five minute epidemics MOOC on seasonality can be seen on youtube:
