Dynamical models can be powerful tools to understand infectious diseases, immune response and outcomes of infection. Developing models of the dynamics of cell populations or subcellular compartments interacting with pathogens, computing the target cell, pathogen, and immune system kinetics under different possible scenarios, and estimating model parameters leads to predictions about the course of the disease and clinical outcome. In this volume there are multiple examples of the state-of-the-art in applying these principles to multiple important problems in infectious diseases and immunity.
