PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics

Calls for Papers Collections

Mathematical modeling of biological processes has contributed to improving our understanding of real-world phenomena and predicting dynamics about how life operates. Mathematical approaches have significantly shaped research on disease and evolving epidemics across the globe by providing real-time decision support. Modeling can help describe and predict how diseases develop and spread, both on local and global scales. In addition, mathematical modeling has played a critical role in understanding and measuring the impact of intervention strategies such as vaccination, isolation, and treatment.
