Singularity and symmetry analyses of mathematical models of epidemics

We present a summary of the methods of Lie symmetry and Painlevé singularity analyses and apply them to a number of wellknown epidemiological models to demonstrate the utility of these analyses in the analysis of dynamical systems which arise during investigations of the evolution of diseases.
