Abstract
Control of infectious diseases is a key global health priority. This paper describes the role that simulation can play in evaluating policies for infectious disease control. We describe ongoing simulation studies in three different areas: HIV prevention and treatment, contact tracing, and hepatitis B prevention and control.
