2. Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_modelling_of...

   Infectious disease dynamics. Mathematical models need to integrate the increasing volume of data being generated on host - pathogen interactions. Many theoretical studies of the population dynamics, structure and evolution of infectious diseases of plants and animals, including humans, are concerned with this problem.

3. Infection prevention and control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infection_prevention_and...

   Infection prevention and control. Infection prevention and control is the discipline concerned with preventing healthcare-associated infections; a practical rather than academic sub-discipline of epidemiology. In Northern Europe, infection prevention and control is expanded from healthcare into a component in public health, known as "infection ...

4. Infectious diseases (medical specialty) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_diseases...

   Infectious diseases ( ID ), also known as infectiology, is a medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of infections. An infectious diseases specialist's practice consists of managing nosocomial ( healthcare-acquired) infections or community-acquired infections. [1] An ID specialist investigates and determines the cause of a ...

5. Pathogen transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen_transmission

   Pathogen transmission. In medicine, public health, and biology, transmission is the passing of a pathogen causing communicable disease from an infected host individual or group to a particular individual or group, regardless of whether the other individual was previously infected. [1] The term strictly refers to the transmission of ...

6. Pathogenomics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenomics

   Pathogenomics is a field which uses high-throughput screening technology and bioinformatics to study encoded microbe resistance, as well as virulence factors (VFs), which enable a microorganism to infect a host and possibly cause disease.

7. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

   In epidemiology, particularly in the discussion of infectious disease dynamics (modeling), the latent period (also known as the latency period or the pre-infectious period) is the time interval between when an individual or host is infected by a pathogen and when that individual becomes infectious, i.e. capable of transmitting pathogens to ...
