Mathematical Epidemiology and Evolutionary Games

Dear Colleagues,

During an epidemic outbreak, people change their habits and take personal actions to minimize the impact of the disease on their health and daily routines. These actions are the strategies people use to cope with the epidemic. Researchers have studied not only the analysis of the disease within the population but also how the evolution of individual strategies in a population affects the disease dynamics using models from the fields of mathematical epidemiology and evolutionary games.

Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled "Mathematical Epidemiology and Evolutionary Games", will consider novel articles that explore the evolution of population strategies and the dynamics of disease spread. Potential contributions should present mathematical studies on the following topics (among other related topics):

• Epidemic modeling;
• Evolutionary biology;
• Evolutionary epidemiological processes;
• Opinion dynamics;
• Population dynamics;
• Voluntary quarantine, isolation, and the use of masks.
• Vaccination games.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
