What is the role of epidemiology in understanding Influenza A?
Epidemiology plays a crucial role in understanding the spread, impact, and control of Influenza A. By monitoring and analyzing data on infection rates, transmission patterns, and the effectiveness of interventions, epidemiologists can provide valuable insights into how to manage and mitigate outbreaks. Surveillance systems, such as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), track the evolution of the virus and help inform vaccine development and public health policies.
