Summary Introduction

The epidemiology is the study of frequency of diseases that occur in various groups of population. The epidemiological data is used to evaluate and plan strategies to avoid illness. The epidemiologists follow the disease transmission by correlating climatic, social, demographic and geographic data with disease incidence. These correlations are used to detect the potential disease patterns and mode of transmission.
