INTRODUCTION
Disease modelling has become an important topic of discussion and research at present. There is an increasing trend in the usage of mathematical models and techniques to predict and interpret disease dynamics or study the evolution of the disease in order to obtain relevant control measures. Models can be useful in giving estimates, for example, for the level of vaccination for the control of infectious diseases.
“The total burden of human misery and sufferings that results from communicable disease is immense, and any understanding that modelling techniques can bring to alleviate this terrible state of affairs is truly important.”
Renshaw, 1991
It can be said that this is true for any diseases in human and animal populations as well as agricultural systems. Hence, mathematical and statistical studies are important in addressing issues related to diseases.
