This introductory text provides a background in epidemiology for health and allied science students. Concrete examples are provided of the basic epidemiology concepts in order to help students understand current trends and data. A selected case study leads students through the investigative process of a disease outbreak. Various models of epidemiology demonstrate the complexity of agent-host environment and interactions; and the text also incorporates information on the threat of emerging infectious diseases in order to make students aware of current issues and threats.
