To support an education project around neglected infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, I aim to estimate and report some very basic epidemiological models in R to build intuition and understanding with the students.
I have been searching for a little bit (to no avail) – does anyone know of basic R-based modules / models (compartmental or agent-based) that I could use? For example – SIR models similar to these Python models (http://wiki.deductivethinking.com/wiki/Program_3.1)

Good epidemiology packages for R to look at (I only included R packages curated in CRAN task views):
- Epi in the Survival task view
- epibasix in the ClinicalTrials task view
- epicalc in the ClinicalTrials task view
- epiR in both the Survival task view and the MetaAnalysis task view
