Mathematical models allow us to extrapolate from current information about the natural history of a disease, therapy/intervention outcome, state and progress of an outbreak, to predict the future and, most importantly, to quantify the uncertainty in these predictions, thus, increasingly gaining the ability to perform as a link between basic science, clinical medicine and public health. © GERMS 2012.
