How Do Epidemiologists Investigate Disease Outbreaks?

When a disease outbreak occurs, epidemiologists follow a systematic approach to investigate and control it. This typically involves identifying the source of the outbreak, determining how it is being transmitted, and implementing measures to stop its spread. They collect data through surveys, laboratory tests, and field investigations to understand the epidemiology of the outbreak and develop appropriate public health responses.
