Infectious Disease Epidemiology

---

Infectious disease epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes, and distribution of infectious diseases within populations. This field encompasses a range of research areas, including disease surveillance, outbreak investigations, and the evaluation of interventions to control disease spread. Infectious disease epidemiology aims to understand the factors that contribute to disease incidence, transmission, and severity, and to identify strategies to reduce the burden of infectious diseases on populations. Advances in infectious disease epidemiology have enabled the development of more effective public health strategies for preventing and controlling infectious diseases.
