Summary Introduction
Epidemiologist undergoes several surveillance methods to detect infectious disease in the population. The epidemiologist visits certain localities, communities, and areas and collects various data and compare and analyze them. Due to constant surveillance any kind of diseases like emerging and re-emerging diseases can be identified in the population and preventive measures are taken immediately.

Recall that the critical immunization threshold is the minimum proportion of the population that must be vaccinated to establish herd immunity; and The Basic Reproductive Number is the average number of individuals infected by an infected individual, if the whole population is susceptible. What happens to the critical immunization threshold as R0 gets larger (more individuals are infected by an infected individual)?

The new test was administered to 3000 participants. Of those, 600 who had been previously diagnosed using the gold standard test were positive on the new screening test, and 200 who had been previously diagnosed using the gold standard test were negative on the new screening test. Also, 300 participants who were negative on the gold standard screening test were positive on the new test.
