This monograph is devoted to the construction and investigation of mathematical models of immunological and epidemiological process during infectious diseases. The author describes the phenomena of training, adaptation and aging of immune system, formation of immune deficiencies, their dependence on the level of infection and other environmental factors. The reader would read about the method for assessing the quality of the immune system. The book includes description of epidemiological and demographic processes relations. The models are based on current knowledge about the pathogenesis and epidemiology of such diseases as influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis.

For experts in the field of applied mathematics, immunology and epidemiology, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students in related disciplines.
