Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Prerequisite:
EPID 571. This course will discuss the origins of epidemiology
and how epidemiology methods are continually applied
to the study of communicable diseases. Several infectious
diseases will be studied in depth to show the progression
toward characterization of the natural history of the
diseases and how policies regarding prevention have
been defined. Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, the hepatitis family
of agents and a vector-borne disease will be studied.
In addition, the topic of antibiotic resistance will
be covered in depth. How the epidemiology of an infectious
agent relates to bioterrorism also will be discussed.
