Measuring Spatial Dependence for Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Global spatial clustering is the tendency of points, here cases of infectious disease, to occur closer together than expected by chance. The extent of global clustering can provide a window into the spatial scale of disease transmission, thereby providing insights into the mechanism of spread, and informing optimal surveillance and control. Here the authors present an interpretable measure of s...
متن کاملInfectious Disease Epidemiology.
Both authors were introduced to infectious disease epidemiology by Alexander D. Langmuir, and he taught us the principles of this field by example. We came to the Communicable Disease Center (now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)) directly out of clinical training with absolutely no formal training in public health or epidemiology. Perhaps this was a fortunate happenstance; i...
متن کاملSeasonal infectious disease epidemiology.
Seasonal change in the incidence of infectious diseases is a common phenomenon in both temperate and tropical climates. However, the mechanisms responsible for seasonal disease incidence, and the epidemiological consequences of seasonality, are poorly understood with rare exception. Standard epidemiological theory and concepts such as the basic reproductive number R0 no longer apply, and the im...
متن کاملImplications of Lifecourse Epidemiology for Research on Determinants of Adult Disease.
Many diseases commonly associated with aging are now thought to have social and physiologic antecedents in early life. Understanding how the timing of exposure to early life risk factors influences later-life health may illuminate mechanisms driving adult health inequalities and identify possible points for effective interventions. Recognizing chronic diseases as developing across the lifecours...
متن کاملBook Review: Infectious Disease Epidemiology
This handbook is divided into two sections. Section 1 is composed of seventeen chapters which summarize the basic methods and principles used for the study of infectious disease epidemiology. On the other hand, Section 2 discusses the most important infectious diseases worldwide, grouped in ten separate chapters according to their way of transmission, with an emphasis on their ability to cause ...
