Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases

Infectious disease epidemiology is the study of how and why infectious conditions emerge and spread among different populations, and what strategies can help or contain the spread of disease at the population level. Disease causation, transmission, outbreak disquisition, complaint surveillance, forensic epidemiology, environmental epidemiology, occupational epidemiology, biomonitoring, webbing and comparisons of treatment goods similar as clinical studies are the major areas of Epidemiological studies. Many scientific fields such as biology are used by epidemiologists to improve and understand the processes of disease, statistics to use data efficiently and draw appropriate conclusions, social sciences to more understand proximate and distal causes, and exposure assessment engineering.
