An epidemiologist studies the spread and control of diseases in populations. They analyze patterns and causes of diseases, develop strategies to prevent and control outbreaks, and communicate findings to public health officials and the general public.
An outbreak refers to the occurrence of cases of a particular disease in excess of what is normally expected within a specific population or geographic area. It may be limited to a small community or a more localized area.
An epidemic refers to a sudden increase in the number of cases of a disease within a specific geographic area or population over a particular period of time. It is the rapid spread of a disease to a large number of people within a short period.
A pandemic refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, affecting a large number of people globally. It refers to a worldwide outbreak of a disease that affects a substantial proportion of the population.
