What Have We Learned from Infectious Disease Epidemiology?
Infectious disease epidemiology focuses on the spread and control of infectious agents. Major findings include the identification of transmission pathways, such as direct contact, airborne transmission, and vector-borne spread. Research has also emphasized the importance of vaccination in controlling diseases like measles, polio, and influenza. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of rapid response, public health measures, and global cooperation.
