A Simulation of Communicable Disease and Herd Immunity for the Microbiology Classroom or Laboratory

Modern medicine has reduced the incidence of communicable disease, but humanity continues to suffer from a wide variety of ailments caused by infectious microorganisms. Modelling this transmission allows for a greater awareness of the various mechanisms through which disease can spread. This procedu...
