“If you have a serious interest in the epidemiology of infectious diseases and are eager to roll up your sleeves, please consult this book … .” (Odo Diekmann, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (1), March, 2019)“This book focuses on infectious disease mathematical models, taking seasonality and changes in population behavior into account, using a switched and hybrid systems framework. … This book is strongly recommended to graduate level students with a background in dynamic system or epidemic modeling and an interest in mathematical biology, epidemic models, and physical problems exhibiting a mixture of continuous and discrete dynamics.” (Hemang B. Panchal, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2017)“This book presents a new type of switched model for the spread of infectious diseases. … This book should be useful and attractive for students and researchers seeking updated progresses in the fieldof epidemic modeling … .” (Yilun Shang, zbMATH 1362.92002, 2017)
