Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the area of medicine that examines the prevalence and long-term spread of viruses in populations. It is employed to stop the spread of infection among people when viral infections are on the rise. In order to understand the dynamics of viral infections and develop intervention techniques, host, virus, and environmental parameters are carefully monitored. Virus transmission can occur horizontally (from person to person) or vertically (from mother to kid). The population density, the number of susceptible people, and the cost of healthcare are some of the variables that affect the rate of viral infection transmission.
