is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the control of health problems.
Epidemiology
Often called the ‘bug’ or ‘pathogen,’ it’s the microorganism causing the illness. Understanding the agent’s characteristics is essential—how fast it adapts, mutates, and spreads. Monitoring the pathogen is key to staying ahead of outbreaks.
Agent
The person, animal, or insect infected by the agent. Factors like age, genetics, and lifestyle influence vulnerability and transmission. Recognizing these factors helps design effective policies.
Host
External factors, collectively known as the (), like climate, water quality, living conditions, and social interactions, impact disease spread. These factors can be either a risk or a protective factor and are an opportunity for intervention.
