Abstract:Mathematical modeling of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) mainly focuses on compartmental modeling approaches. It classifies human population into compartments and assumes homogeneity that regards every human has equal chance of contacting other individuals in the population. However, the transmission of HFMD is complicated and dynamic with the interactions of the intertwined biomedical and social factors. Describing the disease transmission dynamic that involves high-dimensional space is mathematically ch… Show more
