How Do Epidemiologists Track and Control These Diseases?
Epidemiologists use various methods to track and control emerging and re-emerging diseases:
Surveillance: Monitoring disease patterns and trends to detect outbreaks early. Outbreak investigation: Identifying sources and modes of transmission to implement control measures. Modeling: Using mathematical models to predict disease spread and evaluate potential interventions. Public health interventions: Implementing vaccination campaigns, quarantine measures, and public awareness programs. International collaboration: Working with global organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) to coordinate responses.
