Epidemiological modeling in R

To conduct epidemiological analysis R packages can be really handy. Here are some useful packages for epidemic modeling:

1. surveillance: A great package for spatio-temporal analysis for epidemic.
2. EpiEstim : Useful to estimate the average number of secondary cases caused by an infected individual (reproduction number) from a time series of disease incidence.  Another similar package is R0.
3. outbreaker : Useful for reconstructing transmission trees from sequence data.
4. amei : Useful for finding optimal intervention strategies. (i.e. the proportion of the population to be vaccinated to prevent further disease spread from temporal data.)
5. tscount: Useful for calculating the weekly number of reported infections of a particular disease.
6. diseasesmapping: Great package for spatial analysis of disease occurrence.
7. etasFLP : A package to fit spatio-temporal epidemic models.
8. splancs: A package for space-time clustering.

Some additional spatial analysis packages that can be useful for epidemic modeling:  spacetime, sp, xts
