These chapters present recent and important developments in the study of structured population models in biology and epidemiology. Topics include population models structured by age, size, and spatial position; size-structured models for metapopulations, macroparasitc diseases, and prion proliferation; models for transmission of microparasites between host populations living on non-coincident spatial domains; spatiotemporal patterns of disease spread; method of aggregation of variables in population dynamics; and biofilm models. It is suitable as a textbook for a mathematical biology course or a summer school at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. It can also serve as a reference book for researchers looking for either interesting and specific problems to work on or useful techniques and discussions of some particular problems. 410 0$aLecture notes in mathematics (Springer-Verlag) ;$v1936. 606 $aPopulation biology$xMathematical models 606 $aEpidemiology$xResearch$xMethodology 615 0$aPopulation biology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEpidemiology$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a577.88015118 701 $aAuger$b Pierre$0119051 701 $aMagal$b Pierre$0767931 701 $aRuan$b Shigui$f1963-$060517 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484387203321 996 $aStructured population models in biology and epidemiology$94187813 997 $aUNINA
