Expert Solution
Summary Introduction
To describe: The necessity of international cooperation in the field of epidemiology.
Introduction: The person who studies and surveys about infectious diseases are called as an epidemiologist. The epidemiologist surveys, keep records, and tracks infectious diseases in the community, population, during the epidemic, natural disasters, and also in hospitals.
Explanation of Solution
- The international cooperation like the World Health Organization (WHO) Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is important in the field of epidemiology.
- These international cooperation separate different continents that make it easy to mark red zones in a different area that are prevalent for certain type of diseases. Example, Dengue in Asia and Ebola in Africa.
- The epidemiology is help for this international cooperation to survey morbidity and mortality rates in different countries.
- The epidemiology helps in the identification of emerging and re-emerging diseases.
- When the international cooperation surveys and concludes the area that is a red zone for diseases, they team up with government and start setting vaccination campaign, awareness programs, and different ways to prevent the diseases in that particular area.
