Epidemiology of Tropical Diseases

Epidemiology of tropical diseases studies how these illnesses spread, their causes, and their impact on public health in warmer regions. These diseases, often linked to factors like climate, urbanization, and socioeconomic conditions, include malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. Epidemiologists track outbreaks, identify at-risk populations, and evaluate prevention strategies. Understanding these patterns helps control outbreaks, improve healthcare responses, and enhance global health initiatives. By addressing environmental factors and enhancing surveillance, the goal is to reduce the burden of these diseases and protect vulnerable communities.
