Epidemiology investigates the occurrence and distribution of diseases within the population. Moreover, molecular biology techniques are used in molecular epidemiology.
Detailed description
Epidemiologists use mainly statistical methods to make statements about the incidence of a disease in a population or to simulate the spread of an epidemic with models. Molecular epidemiology gains insights from the molecular properties of a human or a pathogen.
