Viral Infection and Types of Infection
Author(s): Sri Murwani*
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution, the dynamics, and the determinants of
diseases in populations. The risk of virus infection and/or clinical disease is determined
by characteristics both of the virus, and the levels of innate and acquired resistance
in the community [1]. Virus transmission is affected by behavioral, environmental,
and ecological factors. Knowledge of these factors contributes to evidence-based
policy decisions as to how best to control and prevent virus diseases. Considerable
use of genome sequencing of isolates now provides useful information as to the
identification of outbreak sources as well as informing the design and testing of
candidate vaccines [2].
