This preface introduces the special issue on Dynamic Games for Modeling and Control of Epidemics. It showcases 12 papers with timely contributions to dynamic games and their applications to the modeling, analysis, and control of epidemics. The papers in this collection connect dynamic games and epidemic models to address the recent challenges related to screening, containment, and mitigation strategies for epidemics. This collection covers broad application areas in networks, human behaviors, and epidemiology as well as a diverse range of dynamic game methods, including evolutionary games, differential games, and mean-field games.
