Aquatic Epidemiology

Aquatic epidemiology is the study of health-related issues in aquatic environments, including oceans, rivers, and lakes. It focuses on understanding how diseases spread among aquatic animals and how these diseases can affect human health and ecosystems. This field examines factors such as water quality, pollution, and climate change, which can influence disease outbreaks in aquatic species. By monitoring and researching these aspects, scientists aim to develop strategies to prevent and control diseases in both wildlife and humans, ensuring healthier ecosystems and safer seafood consumption.
