What is the Role of Epidemiologists in Controlling Ectoparasites?
Epidemiologists play a crucial role in controlling ectoparasite infestations by conducting surveillance to monitor the prevalence and spread of these parasites. They also investigate outbreaks, identify risk factors, and develop strategies to mitigate the impact on public health. This may involve collaborating with other public health officials, conducting field studies, and educating the public about preventive measures.
