Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases involves the study of the distribution, determinants, and control measures of infectious agents within populations. This book covers methodologies for tracking disease outbreaks, analyzing epidemiological data, and designing effective public health interventions to prevent and control the spread of infections. Topics include surveillance systems, vaccination programs, antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of globalization on disease transmission. Through detailed case studies and practical applications, the book provides valuable insights for epidemiologists, public health officials, and healthcare providers dedicated to mitigating the impact of infectious diseases on community health.
