SUMMARY Mathematical modelling is an important tool for understanding the dynamics of spread infectious diseases, which could be result a natural outbreak or intentional release pathogenic biological agents. Decision makers and policymakers responsible strategies to contain disease, prevent epidemics fight possible bioterrorism attacks, need accurate computational tools, based on mathematical modelling, preventing even managing these complex situations. In this article, we tested validity,...
